...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...

In 1936, Wichita reached its all time record high of 114
degrees.  This had been the 6th straight day of
100-degree plus heat and the 4th straight day in which
the temperature had reached or exceeded 110 degrees.
Overall, Wichita recorded triple digit heat each
afternoon from August 7th to the 26th, a span of 20 days.
This, too, is a record for the city in terms of
consecutive days on which the high had reached or
exceeded 100 degrees.  In 1934, Wichita experienced its
13th consecutive day of 100-degree plus heat when the
high reached 105.  This is tied for the 4th longest
streak in the city`s history.  Chanute spent both summers

August, 1936, Chanute ran a fever of 100 degrees and
higher on 23 dates.  Most occurred during a 20-day
