Heat Wave Numbers
...2007 Heat Wave Boiled Central Alabama...
The strong upper level ridge that produced record heat across the Western United States during July, redeveloped eastward and produced another round of record heat across the Southeastern United States. This oppressive heat was greatest during the weeks of August 12th and August 19th when Heat Advisories were in effect for the entire area. But due to the prolonged heat, many heat illnesses were not felt until the last week of August and into September.
Below are the new records established during the 2007 Heat Wave...
