First Responders Share How to Beat the Wisconsin Heat
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WISCONSIN, JUL 23 – Heat index values may reach or exceed 105°F, increasing health risks for vulnerable groups and prompting safety measures including utility disconnection protections, officials said.
- On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, the National Weather Service in Green Bay issued a heat advisory for central and eastern Wisconsin with heat indices between 100 and 105°F.
- Earlier this year, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show that more than 1,200 Americans die annually from heat, with 80 ER visits in Milwaukee County during June, underscoring rising risks and strain.
- According to Wisconsin law, utility disconnections are barred during heat advisories, while Public Health Madison & Dane County warns heat indices could reach or exceed 105°F.
- First responders prepared for more heat-related calls, then `The problem is, the longer you're out in the heat, the faster you're going to get hot. And you really got to monitor this yourself,` Dr. Christopher Harkin said.
- The National Weather Service forecasts a chance of thunderstorms Thursday afternoon, offering temporary relief, and continued high heat through early next week.
