The area has seen some rain lately, but it hasn't been enough to cool off the sweltering summer temperatures. Several Pittsburgh-area senior centers have extended their hours to give people a chance to cool down.

Nearest to the areas of Dormont and Brookline is the Seton Center, which will be open July 17 and 18 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Seton Center is at 1900 Pioneer Avenue in Brookline, and the phone number is 412-344-4777.

All county residents ages 60 and older are welcome to visit any of the county-funded senior centers during regular hours of operation to socialize and enjoy activities while taking refuge from the heat.
