A heat dome is a weather hazard.

Be prepared for a few days of super-hot and humid weather in Connecticut starting Tuesday, June 18. Governor Lamont has ordered the activation of Connecticut’s Extreme Hot Weather Protocol.

While enacted, a system for state agencies, municipalities, and other partners will coordinate with United Way 2-1-1 to ensure that information regarding cooling centers is available statewide. The best tip is to stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible.
