What Is a Cooling Station? Cooling stations are public, air-conditioned spaces that provide a safe place to cool off during extreme heat. They offer a comfortable, welcoming environment with water and hydration support to help protect community members from dangerous temperatures.
Why They Are Important: Clark County has experienced more than 40 days above 106°F in recent years, and the Urban Heat Island effect can make some neighborhoods significantly hotter than others. Extreme heat can affect anyone, making cooling stations an important resource for staying safe and preventing heat-related illness.

Extreme Heat |
Extreme heat days—days with temperatures exceeding 106° F—are projected to increase in Clark County. Currently, we experience about four extreme heat days per year. By 2064, that number could increase to 23 – 30 extreme heat days. Staying cool in Clark County can be challenging, especially because not everyone experiences heat the same way. Due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, some of our neighborhoods are hotter than others. Although our extreme temperatures impact our vulnerable residents the most, everyone is exposed to extreme heat here in Clark County.
