According to the U.S. National Weather Service Austin-San Antonio Texas, dangerous heat is forecast to build Friday through the Memorial Day weekend but it's already quite warm this week.

 

To help some of Lockhart's most heat vulnerable residents, the City's Summer Fan Program begins Wednesday, May 22. The program provides FREE BOX FANS to eligible Lockhart residents WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

If you are:
*Aged 65 or older
*Have a disability
*A Lockhart resident
*Didn't receive a fan from the 2023 Summer Fan Program...

Stop by Lockhart City Hall during business hours, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., to pick up your fan. Please bring a government issued ID or utility bill to prove Lockhart residency. If you have a disability, bring a letter from the Social Security Administration.

If you have outdoor plans this week, you are urged to practice heat safety by drinking plenty of water, wearing light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, as well as taking frequent cooling breaks in shaded and/or air-conditioned environments. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN OR PETS BE LEFT UNATTENDED IN VEHICLES.
