| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A hot and humid airmass brought excessively high heat indices to western Massachusetts during the beginning of July. Temperatures soared as high as the mid to upper 90s on July 1st, the hottest day of the stretch. Combined with dewpoints in the mid-70s, heat indices reached near 105 degrees in the warmest areas. July 4th marked the fourth consecutive day with a high temperature in the 90s at Pittsfield. In addition to the hot daytime temperatures, overnight low temperatures only falling into the 70s was common, which exacerbated heat-related problems. The extensive heat prompted the opening of many cooling centers across the region. |
