It's hot. We know. That's an understatement.

Patch wants to help you beat the heat in these record-breaking temperatures.

We've put together a map of places to go and thing to do in the North Chicago suburbs during this heat wave.

You can splash around at the pool or visit one of the many beaches in the area, or visit the Winnetka or Glencoe Historical Society to get your history on while you cool off! 

You can also help Patch readers (and your friends and neighbors!) by clicking "Edit" on the map and dropping a pin on the map to tell us your favorite things to do when it's 105 degrees.

Or, just sit back and enjoy the map we've put together for you. It's too hot to work.
