Yesterday's high of 95 in Louisville was the hottest so far this year.
Last year there were 23 days hotter than 95 degrees.
A heat wave is officially classified as at least 3 days in a row in the 90's.
Today is the 5th day in a row in the 90's..... the longest heat wave of the year.
Last year's longest heat wave was 12 days.... the second longest was 9 days and the third longest was 6 days.
2 years ago the longest heat wave was 20 days and 3 years ago the longest heat wave was 16 days.
By the way, last evening, a thundershower moved through portions of the metro area.
Places that had rain saw their dew points rise to around 80 degrees with rain free areas in the lower 70's.
Early afternoon dew points in Kentucky range from 70 at Covington to 77 at Hopkinsville.
In Indiana, dew points range from 68 at Anderson to 75 at Fort Wayne.
The current highest dew point on earth is 90 in Saudi Arabia.
