The heat index was expected to soar over 100 degrees Monday as weather officials issued a heat advisory for northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana for most of Monday.
The advisory, which is expected to last from noon to 8 p.m., spans over several areas including Cook, Dekalb, McHenry and DuPage counties, according to the National Weather Service. Sections of northwest Indiana are also expected to see extreme heat.
The high for Monday is expected to be in the upper 80s in the city, but the heat index will make it feel like between 105 and 109 degrees, the weather service said.
The weather service suggests drinking plenty of fluids, staying in air conditioned rooms and staying out of the sun.
“At this point, it seems like this heat wave will be possibly about the same as the one we just came out of recently,” meteorologist Lee Carlaw said.
“We had a pretty significant heat episode in June that was probably a little bit more significant than this is looking to be, at least in the city itself,” Carlaw said.
“It seems like it will be hot, but the standard level of hot that we see in the city a couple times each year.”
