Chicago and Illinois are experiencing increased humidity due to 'corn sweat,' a phenomenon where cornfields release 4,000 gallons of water daily through evapotranspiration. This process raises heat indices near 100°F as temperatures rise into the 90s, with Illinois corn crops releasing 35 billion gallons of water daily.
