We’re facing more extreme weather this week, Illinois. Make sure to stay hydrated, keep cool, and check on your neighbors as the thermometer climbs.

Chicago’s second heat wave of the season to bring poor air quality Monday, more 90s starting Tuesday
These kinds of sticky, muggy temperatures that persist into the night can pose a major risk to the health of anyone without access to effective cooling or adequate hydration.
