Today in Chicago is cloudy, but the cloudiness is misleading, because the street is very, very hot.
The actual temperature reaches 90-94 degrees Fahrenheit, but high humidity will make you feel it at 100 degrees.
The center for disease control suggests people to drink more water, wear light, loose clothing to stay cool in the conditioned space, use sunscreen and do not leave children and Pets in cars in this heat.
However, the peak of heat yet to come. The temperature will reach a maximum point in Chicago around 5 PM.
Thursday in the city can be quite windy, rain is expected. But by the evening the weather will improve, and the heat subsides a bit.
The normal temperature for this time of year in Chicago is usually 85 degrees Fahrenheit, so the heat is slowly but surely creeping up to the record level. Perhaps the rain but it still hurt.
