REVERE, Mass. (WHDH) – Boston hit 90 degrees for the third straight day Sunday morning, making it an official heat wave in the city. With the hot temperatures expected to continue into the beginning of the week, people in New England are trying to find ways to keep cool.

In Boston, people enjoyed the weather on and along the Charles River.
The city of Boston declared a heat emergency. “We are going to be opening up citywide cooling centers, we are going have 18 pools open,” Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said Friday. “We’re asking people to dress appropriately. We’re asking people to drink plenty of water as well.”
