The McLean County Health Department says the very young and elderly are at the greatest risk for heat related illness.
They urge you to stay hydrated throughout the day, drinking 2 to 4 glasses of water each hour during heavy outdoor activity.
They also say you should avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages, which prompt further dehydration.
Warning signs for heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, pale skin, muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and fainting.
