How to Stay Safe in Extreme Heat

  • On Sunday, an extreme heat warning was put in place for Cook County, Chicago, Kenosha County, and LaPorte County, with high temperatures expected to persist throughout the week.
  • This warning follows hot weather and high heat indices up to 100 degrees, which increase risks for infants, children, older adults, pregnant women, and those with chronic conditions.
  • Health experts like Dr. Jessica Goldstein advise hydrating with water and electrolytes, taking shade breaks, applying sunscreen regularly, and checking on vulnerable neighbors without air conditioning.
  • Sue Ellen Dye, a family nurse practitioner, cautioned that spending a short time outdoors in the summer heat can lead to heat exhaustion and advised against using ice to cool down when symptoms appear. Meanwhile, Red Cross officer John Montes stressed that understanding how to protect oneself and others from extreme heat is crucial for saving lives.
  • The heat event led to opening cooling centers in Chicago and statewide, highlighting the need for public vigilance and careful monitoring of early heat illness signs to prevent serious health outcomes.
