Queen Anne’s County opens Kent Island cooling site for July 15 heat day (Stevensville residents included)
Stevensville residents had two Kent Island cooling sites open July 15 under a Heat Advisory (heat index ≥105°F), plus a short-window YMCA option with ID and a waiver.
For the Wednesday, July 15, 2026 Heat Advisory day, Queen Anne’s County opened public cooling centers so community members could find a “cool retreat.” The county tied the openings to a heat index expected to reach or exceed 105°F.
Because openings are tied to specific alerts, Stevensville residents should confirm the hours and locations for any future heat advisory day through the county’s cooling-center announcements (and the Maryland Department of Health contact list).
