| episode_narrative | A two day heat wave over southcentral and southeast Wisconsin pushed utility companies to the limit, but there were no brownouts due to the fact that it was a Holiday weekend. Nonetheless, the excessive heat and humidity resulted in 40 people being treated for heat-related illiness at local hospitals. In general, overnight minimum air temperatures were in the mid to upper 70s while daytime maximum air temperatures were in the lower to mid 90s. Dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s resulted in minimum heat indices of 80 to 85 at night and maximum heat indices of 102 to 110 during the afternoon hours. A new record high minimum air temperature of 79 was set in Milwaukee on July 4th, breaking the old record of 78 set back in 1921. In Madison, the minimum air temperature of 77 on July 4th tied the old record of set back in 1897. Normal maximum air temperatures are 82 degrees for this time of the year. The excessive heat was a contributing factor in the death of 73 year old man who died on July 6th (classified as an indirect death). |
