The National Weather Service issued heat alerts Tuesday for parts of 22 states stretching from the Midwest and Great Plains down to the Gulf Coast.
The high temperatures in some states, including Nebraska, Iowa and parts of South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, were expected to be as much as 20 degrees above average. Higher overnight temperatures and high humidity were expected to compound the effects of the heat, which the weather service said would stick around through Thursday and possibly into Friday.
The heat led schools across the Midwest to make changes, bringing recess indoors and postponing sports events from South Dakota to Indiana. Schools in the suburbs of Chicago delayed the start of classes to Friday or shifted to online learning and early release. Chicago Public Schools — among the country’s largest districts, with more than 340,000 students — did not announce alterations to its schedule, drawing concerns from parents about conditions and past issues with some window air conditioners.
Even in Florida, which is used to 90-plus temperatures in August, forecasters issued heat advisories in some areas, including Tallahassee. The heat index across the Panhandle was expected to top out at somewhere around 105 on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the “The heat through this week will be the main concern. Remember to practice heat safety by staying hydrated and taking breaks while outside,” the weather service said Tuesday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
