The sheriff's office encourages those without access to air condition to consider going to a local cooling center:

Governor JB Pritzker is carrying out his Keep Cool Illinois campaign by making more than 120 state facilities available as cooling centers to provide Illinoisans a place to stay cool and comfortable during the season's hot days.

Tollway Oasis locations are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Department of Human Services cooling centers are open during normal business hours from 8:30 a.m to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, according to the Governor's Keel Cool Illinois website.
