US EditionExtreme Heat Is About to Return — Here’s Where It Will Be the Worst
ILLINOIS, JUL 21 – Heat index values may reach up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit in Illinois, increasing risks of heat-related illnesses as the heat dome traps hot, humid air over the region.
- The National Weather Service issued an Extreme Heat Watch for northern, central and southern Illinois, in effect from Tuesday morning through Thursday evening.
- This pattern stems from a heat dome trapping humidity and rising temperatures, a trend growing more severe due to fossil fuel-driven climate change, increasing heat wave frequency and intensity.
- A peak heat index of 115°F is expected on Wednesday and Thursday, the National Weather Service said, followed by 'corn sweat' increasing rural humidity and `It's definitely a thing` quote.
- The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District urged residents to take precautions, warning extreme heat poses serious health risks, and a 24-hour shelter was opened from Sunday, July 20 to Saturday, July 26.
- A cold front on Friday may ease heat conditions, but it's still uncertain when the heat wave will fully end, the National Weather Service said.
