| 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 exceeded 100 degrees on 9 out of 10 days going back to June 28 and ending on July 7. At Cape Girardeau, the high of 106 degrees on the 5th and 6th was one degree shy of the all-time highest temperature set just a week earlier on June 29th. Daily high temperatures were 103 on the 1st, 101 on the 2nd, 103 on the 4th, 106 on the 5th and 6th, and 104 on the 7th. From the 1st to the 5th, 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 6th and 7th raised peak heat index values to between 108 and 112 degrees. Strong high pressure aloft remained anchored over the middle part of the country through the first week of July. |
