During the middle of July a large area of high pressure began to build over the Central United States. It held together through the last week of July with a brief period of cloud cover and shower activity around the 26, 27 and 28 of the month. Temperatures rose into the 90's with a few 100's in southeast Kansas and portions of southwest and west central Missouri. The high temperatures combined with increased humidity levels to produce very high heat indices of 100 to 110 degrees for several consecutive days. By the 23th of the month, 23 heat related illnesses were received from the Department of Health, and one related death in Dade County on the 21th.
