As temperatures rise into the triple digits this week, Claremont is taking steps to help residents beat the heat.

The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park (CHWP) will close at 12 p.m. all week due to an excessive heat warning—from Tuesday, August 29 through Sunday, September 3, the city said.

The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts scorching temperatures throughout the week—104 degrees on Tuesday, 103 degrees on Wednesday, 103 degrees on Thursday and 101 degrees on Friday.

Should weather conditions change, updates will be posted on Claremont’s official website at ci.claremont.ca.us, the city said.

In addition, cool zones in the city will operate on extended hours, the city notes. The Blaisdell Center will be open on Monday, August 18 through Wednesday, August 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Blaisdell Center is located at 440 South College Avenue, Claremont.
