With temperatures reaching well into the 90s this weekend, several towns in Connecticut are opening cooling centers.

Heat advisories have been issued with temps possibly reaching record highs.

The heat cranks up on Saturday with temperatures climbing well into the 90s. With the humidity, it will feel anywhere from 95 to 100 degrees away from the shoreline. We'll see more of the same for Sunday with temperatures reaching the mid-90s.

The town is giving out water to residents at the below cooling centers:

The city of Hartford is opening four cooling centers for residents on Saturday and Sunday.

“We also want residents to remember to drink a lot of water before they go out and before they get thirsty. Please stay out of the sun during the hottest parts of the day, and please remember to check in on your loved ones and neighbors, especially seniors, who may be particularly affected by the heat," said Mayor Luke Bronin.

The fire department will also be handing out water to residents throughout the city, the mayor's office said.

The town is opening splash pads early at Fern, Kennedy, Beachland and Wolcott Parks this weekend.

All splash pads will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
