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

An extended period of hot and humid conditions is expected across
central Illinois through this week. Daily high temperatures in the
low to mid 90s with heat indices of 95 to 100 degrees starting this
afternoon, with Monday afternoon being the hottest with heat indices
reaching 100 to 105. 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 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.
