It’s the heat and the humidity that have made the past couple of days in Chicago uncomfortable as temps hit 100 degrees amid “oppressive humidity,” the National Weather Service said Thursday afternoon.

“O’Hare has just hit 100 degrees F. This is the first time since 7/6/2012 that Chicago has officially observed a 100°F temperature. This also ties Chicago’s daily high temperature record for this date set in 1947,” the weather service said in a post on X Thursday afternoon.
