The Southern Taurids peaked in early November. Because the Northern Taurids have a longer peak, Lada advised stargazers to choose the night with the best weather to stargaze. For Belleville stargazers, Monday night is expected to be clear, while Tuesday night is forecast to be mostly clear , according to the National Weather Service St. Louis office.

Central Illinois to see temperatures around 100 degrees this week

SPRINGFIELD, IL – Summer heat is making another surge in central Illinois. Several counties, including Sangamon County, are under a Heat Advisory this week, with heat index values up to 105 expected. Those counties include Christian County, Mason County, Menard County, Sangamon County, Cass County, Fulton County, Knox County, Morgan County, Schuyler County, and Scott County. The hottest day will be Wednesday, with the heat index reaching 104, according to weather graphics issued by the National Weather Service. It's a much drier heat than what central Illinois experienced earlier in the summer, said Rebekka Copple, who is a meteorologist with the weather service out of Lincoln. That will allow the actual temperatures to get up to near or above 100 degrees, she said. More: Springfield park could get upgrades after alleged arson People are advised to stay hydrated, wear light colored, lightweight clothing, and to take air-conditioned breaks during the hottest parts of the day. With heat like this, Copple said, fans can sometimes do more harm than good because they are blowing hot air. What does heat index mean?
