SACRAMENTO—

So far only a few cooling centers are open across the state, but FOX40 News found out that people are already finding places to stay cool.

We found a lot of people hanging out at Arden Fair Mall.

”Yeah, it’s very hot outside and I really want to do something fun to but I don’t really want to walk outside very long because it’s too hot,” said Emi Kuwabara.

Her big brother decided to keep his litter sister cool at the mall by taking in a movie.

“Yeah seeing a movie is definitely the way to go in this heat,” said Dee Kuwabara.

The mall, libraries and theaters are getting more foot traffic thanks to the heat wave. One man who works at Arden Mall says it has been a while since he has seen the mall this busy.

“Now that it’s hot a lot more people come into the mall kind of relax inside, get something to eat and try to cool off a little bit,” said Tyler Adams.

Dorothy Fry decided to go to the movies also, but only after she tried to stay cool at home by using her pool.

“We have a pool so that makes it a lot easier, but our pool stays at 86 degrees, though. It’s sort of like taking a bath,” said Fry.

That is why people like Fry and the Kuwabara’s are hanging out at the mall.

”It’s definitely cooler inside and the last day few days it’s been 75 to 76 degrees,” said Adams.
