| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A combination of high heat and humidity persisted for several days. Daytime temperatures reached the 90s to several degrees above 100, and dew points were in the 70s. The heat index went as high as 110 degrees. Low temperatures were in the 70s, leading to some uncooled indoor locations remaining excessively warm through the night. The dangerous nature of the heat was added to by its continuing over a period of several days. The excessive heat caused an unknown number of heat related illnesses, including at least 10 people treated for heat exhaustion and heat stroke at Sioux City hospitals on July 6th. |
