WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — In an effort to help citizens beat the heat, a number of pools in the District will be staying open late.

In all, the Department of Parks and Recreation has extended the hours of 14 pools in the city.

The expanded hours will run through Friday as a heatwave bakes the region. A heat advisory will remain in effect until 10 p.m. Thursday.
