We are looking at breaking some decent records. If we reach 101 degrees for four or more days in a row then you have to go back to the 1930s, 1950s, and 1988 to have experienced heat to that degree.

The most consecutive days with temperatures of 100 or above is 5 - that was in August of 2010.

The hottest day in June (according to official records for Paducah) would be 106 degrees - set on June 26, 1942.

The hottest day ever recorded is 108 degrees set on July 17th 1942.

Here is what I have dug up on Paducah, Kentucky

Some other years

July 17, 1942 it was 108 degrees**

August 4, 1947 it was 106 degrees

June 28, 1952 it was 106 degrees

June 30, 1962 it was 106 degrees

** Denotes the all time record high for Paducah.

* denotes: Four days in a row of 101 degrees or higher. Rare in this region.

Now I could not find all of Paducah's records for the 1930s - but I did take a look at Carbondale, Illinois - Sewage Plant location - some spectacular numbers. It would be very difficult to beat some of the 1930 data.

In addition to the high/extreme temperatures - we are also, of course, in the midst of a major drought. Some places are now 12-18+ inches below normal in precipitation. There are some spots that have not measured 5" of rain this year, so far. That is simply stunning.
