1995 Chicago heat wave. The 1995 Chicago heat wave was a heat wave which led to 739 heat-related deaths in Chicago over a period of five days. Most of the victims of the heat wave were elderly poor residents of the city, who could not afford air conditioning and did not open windows or sleep outside for fear of crime. The heat wave also heavily impacted the wider Midwestern region, with additional deaths in both St. Louis, Missouri and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates about 300 heat-related deaths a year. Between 1979 and 2003, excessive heat exposure killed 8,015 Americans, according to the CDC. That's more people than the number who died from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes and floods combined.t's unclear how many deaths in the United States can be directly attributed to the recent heat wave. Most of the heat-related deaths reported in the news media occurred in older adults, who are at highest risk of heatstroke.
