The heat seems to want to have it its way. It even wants to break its old records.

According to the Boston Globe, Tuesday was another day of incredible heat, forcing school officials to close schools or let the students leave early. There were also opened some emergency cooling centers to help those affected by the temperature.

Monday around 3:30 p.m. the temperature in Providence reached 97 degrees, managing to break the June 9 1984 record. The National Weather Service said that Tuesday was going to be hot, as well, and it was possible for temperatures to reach 96 degree.

The semi-good news is that the thunderstorms, which were predicted to come at night, would refresh the region.

While some Cranston schools have been closed, Pawtucket, Warwick and Johnston districts released their students early.

Elliot Krieger, a spokesman for the state Department of Education, said that it was the first time in a long time since Rhode Island schools had to be closed because of the heat.

The authorities have informed the residents that the humid air could increase the ozone levels and suggested to avoid driving.

“We are asking all Rhode Islanders to take this extreme weather seriously and pay attention to the tips so we can all survive the heat without incident,” said J. David Smith, executive director of the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency, according to the Boston Globe.
