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 Cape Girardeau, the high was 103 degrees on the 28th, 107 on the 29th, and 105 on the 30th. The high of 107 was the all-time highest temperature on record at the Cape Girardeau airport since records began there in 1960. The previous record was 105 degrees, set on several dates in 1980, 1966, and 1964. Humidity levels were not especially high due to the ongoing drought, so heat index values were within a few degrees of 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.
