Heatwave Warning: Stay Cool and Safe | Chicago News

Lake County braces for its first major heatwave of the year, with temperatures soaring and humidity pushing the heat index to dangerously high levels. Officials have issued extreme heat warnings and opened cooling centers to help residents stay safe. Medical experts urge everyone to dress lightly, avoid the sun, and watch for signs of heat illness — from dizziness and nausea to confusion and high body temperature — which require immediate emergency response. Vulnerable groups, including the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and those with chronic health conditions, need extra care. Never leave anyone or pets in a parked car. With sustained heat expected through Thursday and no relief until a possible storm later in the week, staying cool and hydrated is critical to avoiding serious health risks.
