episode_narrativeAfter an unusually pleasant start to the month, a singular heat wave affected the eastern panhandle of West Virginia during the climatological peak of the highest annual temperatures. The heat wave, caused by the combination of hot humid air associated with "Bermuda" high pressure and increasingly dry ground, caused temperatures to soar into the mid and upper 90s. The heat index, however, equalled or exceeded 100 each afternoon. This heat wave was less tolerable than those in recent years since much of the summer had been cooler and less humid than normal.
