The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park (CHWP) will close at 12 p.m. all week due to an excessive heat warning—from Tuesday, August 29 through Sunday, September 3, the city said.
By just about anyone's standards, it's going to be darn right hot in Claremont this week. And if you thought Monday was hot, wait until Tuesday where the high temperature should reach 107 degrees. Unfortunately, that high number will be sticking with us through Friday. Don't look for it to cool off a lot in the evening either, with low temperatures hovering around 80. The good news is city pools are open, and Raging Waters, above, is always a good option, along with the Puddingstone Reservoir sporting plenty of cool water. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger
