Chicago Braces for Deadly Heat Wave | Chicago News

Chicago’s bracing for a deadly heat wave—with an Extreme Heat Warning hitting Cook County starting Monday noon and lasting through Wednesday evening, plus Heat Advisories across surrounding areas. Temperatures will soar into the mid-90s, with heat index values hitting 105, especially Tuesday and Wednesday. Officials urge everyone to limit outdoor exposure, stay hydrated, and seek cool spots. The city remembers the 1995 heat disaster that killed hundreds, so it’s prepared: request well-being checks via 311 for loved ones, and use cooling centers—libraries, fieldhouses, police stations—listed on the city’s emergency site. Heat can be silent and deadly—know the signs, plan ahead, and call 311 if help is needed. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
