Heat Wave - Close the Beaches!

It's a bit warm:

  • Chicagoans caught outside on Tuesday sought relief from the heat any way they could as the city entered its second stretch of 90-degree-plus temperatures in a month.

    [...] Temperatures peaked at 96 degrees Tuesday afternoon at O’Hare Airport, shy of the record 100 degrees set in 1998, according to the National Weather Service.

    An air quality alert was in effect until at least Wednesday for the area. The air quality could worsen on Thursday and Friday, when wildfire smoke could reach the region, according to the Illinois Department of Health. State health experts encouraged people to stay indoors, use stronger air filters and turn off fresh air intakes on air conditioning. They also suggested limiting time outside.

So when does Conehead shut down the beaches?

You know, like McStreetlights did for Rahm at North Avenue a number of years back - it was just too darn hot to have the beaches open next to the cool refreshing water. 

Or has City Hall revamped that opinion these days?
