Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- High temperatures and humidity are going to be with us for the rest of the week.
Be prepared for a continuation of heat indices in the 105 to 120 degree range each day through at least Thursday. Friday will bear close watching as it could still be quite hot south of Hwy 36. High temperature forecasts are near record levels for Wednesday and Thursday.
If you have to work outdoors during this hot week, you can mitigate your risk of falling victim to heat related illness. Hydrate, take breaks, utilize shade, and be aware of symptoms of heat related illness to catch it early.
The good news is the coming weekend will be cooler and less humid.
