| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Several days of excessive heat and humidity caused a significant increase in heat-related illnesses. A local hospital in Gibson County reported treating four people, all of whom were involved in outdoor activities. Statistics from Evansville hospitals were unavailable. The heat index peaked from 100 to 110 degrees each afternoon. True air temperatures reached the lower to mid 90's, with overnight lows in the lower to mid 70's. At Evansville, the heat index topped out at 109 degrees on the 21st, 105 on the 22nd, 98 on the 23rd, 109 on the 24th, 106 on the 25th, and 104 on the 26th. These heat indices were representative of the rest of southwest Indiana. The heat wave was the result of an expansive surface high pressure system extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes. A light southerly wind flow, combined with moist ground from the remnants of Hurricane Dennis earlier in the month, allowed dew points to hover just below 80 degrees at times. |
