McAllen has opened three cooling centers for residents looking to escape the heat.
The Lark Community Center, Las Palmas Community Center and Palm View Community Center are all now designated cooling centers.
“The centers will provide a safe, air-conditioned place where residents can beat the heat, while enjoying water, snacks and activities, with resources and information available to help residents keep cool at home while conserving energy,” a news release stated.
Hours vary by location.
"We know that South Texas heat is brutal; it really is, and some people do not have the ability to assist themselves, so we're trying to assist," Mayor Javier Villalobos said.
Reliant Energy partners with McAllen to offer the cooling centers, according to a news release.
