Batten down the air-conditioned hatches; a heat wave is coming to Clackamas County. 

A countywide heat advisory is in effect from 12 p.m., Wednesday, July 15 to 10 p.m., Thursday, July 16, with temperatures expected in the low-90s to 100 F and warm overnight lows.

Clackamas County recommends that those without indoor cooling, such as air conditioners, should seek a daytime cooling center. 

There is one overnight cooling center in Oregon City at the Father’s Heart Street Ministry at 603 12th St.. Call 503-722-9780 for more information. 

In Wilsonville, cooling centers are located at the Wilsonville Community Center, 7965 SW Wilsonville Road, and the Wilsonville Public Library, 8200 SW Wilsonville Road. 

The county will evaluate the need of additional overnight shelters for unhoused community members, especially if the heat advisory is extended beyond Thursday evening. 

Clackamas County  recommends drinking lots of water to stay safe during high heat and avoid sugary drinks, caffeinated beverages and alcohol if you’re prone to dehydration. Heat exhaustion can appear quickly and the symptoms include excessive sweating, dizziness, nausea and muscle cramps.
