During this stretch, afternoon heat indices routinely topped out between 110 and 120. Little relief occurred at night, as overnight lows remained in the 70s. The heat caused four people to visit the emergency room in Allamakee County and a farmer lost several head of cattle in Mitchell County. Most of the counties across northeast Iowa also opened cooling centers.
