BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO( — Because of the intense heat in our region, some cooling centers will be open.
Normally, the temperature is closer to or exactly to the degree necessary to open a cooling center but the forecast is blowing those requirements off the page. It has to be 105 degrees or higher in the Kern River Valleys, 108 or higher in the desert areas, and 95 degrees or higher in Frazier Park.
Currently, the county is several clicks above those numbers.
If you head to a center you're encouraged to wear a face mask and maintain social distancing.
