The National Weather Service has issued the warning for several counties including Cook County, De Kalb County, DuPage County, Kane County, Kankakee County, La Salle County, Livingston County, and Will County.

The lower temperature is expected to remain in the upper 70s and below the lower 80s. The citizens of Chicago are advised to take precautionary measures during the heatwave. Dr. Marcelo Malakooti of Lurie’s Children Hospital said, “Kids cannot regulate their thirst the way adults can. We have to push fluids on Children, even when we think they may not be thirsty”.
The citizens are advised to limit outside time between 12 pm on Thursday and 7 pm on Saturday. The use of light color dresses and plenty of sunscreens are also advised by the experts to the people of Indiana and Illinois.
