LEXINGTON, Ky. — Following heavy rain that swept through the region, hot and humid weather prompted city officials to activate Phase 1 of the Heat Plan on June 10, with the elevated alert status remaining in effect through June 11.
The heat index is forecasted to reach 95 degrees, combining temperature and humidity to approximate how hot the air feels to residents. As part of Phase 1, LexTran will provide free rides to designated cooling centers for individuals experiencing homelessness. Outreach teams will distribute supplies throughout the Fayette County community, and the city’s community centers at Dunbar, Kenwick, Castlewood and Tates Creek will remain open until early evening.
The Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention has opened cooling stations at 12 locations across the city, including Arbor Youth Services, Lexington Rescue Mission, Mountain Comprehensive Care Center, New Life Day Center, New Vista Drop-In Center, Nathaniel Mission, Recovery Café Lexington, Catholic Action Center, Hope Center, the Salvation Army, GreenHouse17 and New Life Day Center. Most stations are open 24 hours daily, though some locations serve specific populations or maintain limited hours.
City officials emphasized that the Extreme Heat Plan provides essential resources and safety tips during dangerously high temperatures. The division of Emergency Management is encouraging all residents to take precautions outdoors, particularly during the late morning and afternoon hours. The very young, elderly and those with medical conditions are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and should seek shelter from the extreme heat.
Residents are advised to stay in air-conditioned buildings, limit outdoor activities during midday hours, avoid direct sunlight and wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Officials warned that electric fans should not serve as a primary cooling device when temperatures are in the high 90s.
