Some Connecticut Schools Closing Early Due to Heat Wave

So exactly how hot is too hot for school kids in Connecticut?

Living in El Paso, we know what hot is. New Britain Schools announced Sunday evening on their Twitter that "Due to the heat wave this week, there will be EARLY DISMISSAL for ALL SCHOOLS on Tuesday and Wednesday." The Consolidated School District of New Britain put this message on their Facebook yesterday regarding early school dismissal times this week,

After the announcement, schools also notified students and parents that after school activities were cancelled and after lunch was served, buses would be available to take students home.

So how hot is too hot for students in Connecticut?

Temperatures are going to reach 95 degrees in some areas, with high humidity. 95 DEGREES?! Even with high humidity, that's not a bad day in Austin this time of year. To be fair, many of the school in the area do not have air conditioning, making these conditions difficult for those who aren't used to high heat or high humidity. The temperature is supposed to go down a bit on Wednesday, but the humidity levels are supposed to go up, making the heat index even higher.
