...EXTENDED PERIOD OF HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS EXPECTED THIS WEEK...

An extended period of hot and humid conditions is expected across
central and southeast Illinois through Saturday. Daily high
temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s, with afternoon heat
indices of 95 to 100 degrees, and as high as 99 to 104 degrees this
afternoon. This high heat and humidity may be hazardous for sensitive
and vulnerable populations.

If working outside this week, be sure to drink plenty of water, wear
loose-fitting and light-colored clothing, and take frequent breaks
in air-conditioned locations. Be sure to check on those most
vulnerable to the heat, including children and the elderly, provide
shade and fresh water for outdoor pets and livestock, and check the
backseat of your vehicle when transporting children.
