As a majority of Illinois, including Central Illinois braces for extreme heat state officials are reminding Illinoisians to take precaution and stay safe.
It is recommended during these high temperatures to drink plenty of water, wear lightweight loose clothing, limit your time outside, and take frequent breaks.
Here in Springfield, there are numerous cooling centers around town. You can find a list of those centers at the city’s website Springfield.il.us.
Our listening area continues to be under a Heat Advisory until midnight Thursday.
