The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued an Excessive Heat Warning due to the rising temperatures expected through Wednesday evening for the Chicagoland area. 

The Advisory is in effect for all of Northern Illinois June 14 through 8pm Wednesday June 15. Heat index values between 106 and 110 degrees are expected during this time.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. Drink plenty of fluids, stay out of the sun when possible, and know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.

From Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications

Residents should feel empowered to contact 3-1-1 if they are feeling uncomfortable or in need of assistance. It’s also important to check on relatives, neighbors, seniors and our vulnerable populations when temperatures climb to extreme levels. If you are unable to make contact, you can request a wellbeing check by downloading the CHI311 app, visiting 311.chicago.gov, or calling 3-1-1. If there is a medical emergency due to a heat related illness, call 9-1-1. 

The City of Chicago’s cooling areas located at the City’s six community service centers will be activated on Tuesday and Wednesday. The cooling areas operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays–Fridays. Visitors are required to wear a face covering while in the cooling areas. DFSS will provide free face coverings for guests who do not have one and want to utilize the cooling areas.  

During hours of operation, residents can also find relief in one of the City’s more than 75 Chicago Public Library locations and more than 31 Chicago Park District fieldhouses as well as 176 splash pads.  

Heat-related Illness 

Heat exhaustion is a milder form of heat-related illness that can develop after several days of exposure to high temperatures and inadequate or unbalanced replacement of fluids. Heatstroke is more serious and occurs when the body starts to lose its ability to regulate itself. The telltale signs of heatstroke are: 

If you see someone suffering from heatstroke, call 9-1-1 immediately and then try to move the person into a cool place and cool the person with water.
