Governor Ned Lamont has activated Connecticut’s Extreme Hot Weather Protocol through Sunday, June 14, as the state experiences its first heat wave of the season. Temperatures are expected to exceed 90 degrees daily, with heat index values reaching 100 degrees or higher at times. Residents are encouraged to stay in air-conditioned spaces, drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, wear lightweight clothing, check on elderly neighbors and family members, and never leave children or pets in vehicles. Those with respiratory conditions should also be aware of air quality alerts affecting portions of the state.
