| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The historic heat wave that began in late June continued into July. This heat was comparable to the intense heat experienced in the 1930's. The high temperature reached or exceeded 100 degrees on 10 out of 11 days going back to June 28 and ending on July 8. The highest temperature at Carbondale was 107 degrees on the 5th and 6th. Overnight lows were mostly in the lower to mid 70's. At Paducah, KY on the Illinois state line, the high of 107 degrees on the 6th was one degree shy of the all-time highest temperature recorded there. The all-time record at Paducah was first set on July 17, 1942 and tied on June 29, 2012. From the 1st to the 6th, humidity levels were not especially high due to the ongoing drought, so heat index values were close to the actual temperature. Higher humidity on the 7th and 8th raised peak heat index values to between 107 and 114 degrees. Strong high pressure aloft remained anchored over the middle part of the country through the first week of July. |
