episode_narrativeHot and extremely humid weather rolled into southeast Michigan for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. High temperatures climbed into the 90s across the area, with dew points well into the 70s. This resulted in triple-digit heat indices across southeast Michigan on both the 4th and 5th. The heat index exceeded 105 in and near Detroit. This resulted in numerous heat-related illnesses, as people overdid outdoor activities during the holiday weekend. Numerous hospitals in metro Detroit reported cases of heat stroke, heat exhaustion, dehydration, and severe sunburn. However, unlike many other parts of the country, no fatalities were reported.
