At 102, 2012 is hottest Fourth of July on record
Wednesday was one of the two hottest Independence Days in Chicagos history
Temperatures hit 102 degrees at OHare Airport for about 15 minutes Wednesday afternoon, officials said. That ties the record high temperature for July 4: 102 degrees set back in 1911.
One death may have been caused by the scorching heat
Iona Kendrick, 95, of the 9300 block of South Green, was pronounced dead at 8 p.m. Tuesday and may have been one possible heat-related death, the medical examiners office said. An autopsy was inconclusive, pending additional studies, officials said. If the medical examiner eventually rules the death was caused by the heat, it would be the first such death this year.
High temperatures Thursday and Friday could reach 105 degrees
