*** The record indeed was confirmed to be the highest dew point ever recorded at MSP Airport.
The observed heat index of 119 at 4pm appears to tie the highest heat index ever recorded in the Twin Cities. The previous record dates back to 1966.
MUSIC: "90 Degrees In The Shade" Heavy Shift. Perfect choice I thought. :-)
