| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A long-duration, early-season. heat wave affected Milwaukee and Racine counties, resulting in a directly-related death, and an indirectly-related death. This heat wave didn't meet official heat-wave criteria, but the duration and timing was sufficient to adversely affect humans. A 43-year old City of Milwaukee man was found dead on the steps of a Milwaukee church with a body temperature of 111 on June 23rd. Heat was the primary cause of death based on medical reports (death is directly related to heat). The maximum air temperature was only in the lower 90s across the city of Milwaukee, with General Mitchell Field registering 91. Heat Index values were in the 95 to 100 range. The morning low at Mitchell Field was 71. Normal highs and lows for June 23rd are 78 and 58. In addition, a 37-year-old City of Racine women died in her apartment on June 23rd, after her body temperature reached 109 degrees. Medical reports indicated that heat was a secondary cause of death (indirectly-related to heat). Maximum air temperatures in Racine ranged from 90 to 91, after overnight lows around 68. Heat indices were in the 95 to 100 degree range. June 23rd was the second of four consecutive days with maximum readings in the lower 90s across southeast and south-central Wisconsin, and minimum temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s, both about 12 to 15 degrees above normal. |
