Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThis stretch of heat was the beginning of an historic heat wave comparable to the intense heat experienced in the 1930's. The high temperature exceeded 100 degrees on the final three consecutive days of the month. At Carbondale, the high temperature was 106 degrees on the 28th, 107 on the 29th, and 105 on the 30th. At Paducah, KY on the Illinois state line, the high of 108 degrees on the 29th tied the all-time highest temperature recorded there. The all-time record was first set on July 17, 1942. Humidity levels were not especially high due to the ongoing drought, so heat index values were close to the actual temperature. High pressure at the surface and aloft covered the better part of the country for most of June. Toward the end of the month, the high strengthened and centered itself over the Lower Ohio and Mid-Mississippi Valleys.
