HEAT ADVISORY UPDATE — THURSDAY, JULY 24, 2025

From TNW News LLC | Updated at 8:00 AM CDT

Aurora & Chicago, Illinois — A Heat Advisory remains in effect for Chicagoland and the Fox Valley, including Aurora, due to dangerous levels of heat and humidity. The combination of high temperatures and oppressive dew points will create heat index values between 105 and 110°F this afternoon.

As of 8:00 AM, temperatures were already climbing:

  • Aurora: 81°F with humidity pushing the heat index toward 85°F
  • Chicago: 80°F under morning haze, warming rapidly as solar radiation intensifies

Highs today will reach the low to mid 90s, with peak heat index values by late afternoon expected to exceed triple digits.

🏙️ SKYLINE HEAT WATCH: AURORA & CHICAGO

This morning, skyline views reveal the looming intensity:

  • In Aurora, early haze rises above downtown, with pavement, sidewalks, and dark rooftops already warming to the touch.
  • The Chicago skyline is silhouetted under rising humidity and incoming cloud debris—visual signs of both heat and possible late-day storms.

🆘 TODAY’S HEAT SAFETY REMINDERS

  1. Extreme Heat Alert:
    Heat Index: Up to 110°F this afternoon
    Avoid outdoor work or prolonged exposure after 10:00 AM
  2. Aurora Resident Action:
    If your AC fails, call 3‑1‑1 immediately to request a cooling zone inspection.
  3. Emergency Cooling Shelters:
    Now open in Aurora, Naperville, Chicago, Kane, DuPage, and Will Counties.
    Visit TNWWeather.com for the latest cooling site map.
  4. Power Advisory:
    Charge all devices and EVs by midday.
    Don’t run generators indoors — risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is high.
  5. Hydration Priority:
    Drink water hourly.
    Watch pets for signs of heat distress.
    Check on elderly or disabled neighbors, especially in the afternoon and overnight.
