Heatwave: Jersey City Library Cancels Outdoor Activities

JERSEY CITY, NJ —As temperatures remain in the 90s, the heatwave hasn't budged in Jersey City and a heat advisory is affecting activities at the library.

The Jersey City Free Public Library announced on Tuesday that all outdoor programs would be canceled for Tuesday and Wednesday, due to the heat advisory. The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory from 11 a.m. on Tuesday through 8 p.m. on Wednesday

The highest temperatures and heat indices are expected between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. each afternoon. The National Weather Service suggests using an air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors.
