Dallas Fort Worth, TX, July 23, 2026 —

In response to dangerous heat conditions, numerous cooling centers have been established across the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area. These centers are providing a vital refuge for residents seeking relief from the extreme temperatures.

Local authorities and community organizations have activated these facilities to offer a safe and air-conditioned environment for individuals who may not have access to adequate cooling at home. The opening of these centers is a proactive measure aimed at preventing heat-related illnesses and ensuring the well-being of the community during the ongoing heatwave.

Specific locations and operating hours for the cooling centers vary by city and county within the DFW region. Residents are advised to check with their local city or county government websites, or call 2-1-1, for the most up-to-date information on where to find a cooling center near them and their operational status. Information on transportation assistance may also be available through these channels for those who need it.

Public health officials emphasize the importance of taking precautions during periods of intense heat. This includes staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day, and checking on vulnerable individuals such as the elderly, young children, and those with chronic health conditions. The cooling centers serve as an essential resource for individuals who may be particularly at risk.

The duration for which these cooling centers will remain open is dependent on the sustained severity of the heatwave. Updates on their availability will be provided as conditions evolve. Residents are encouraged to utilize these facilities as needed to stay safe and healthy during this period of extreme weather.
