CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
In the last two days, Cleveland has tied the record set for heat in 1954 at 93 degrees, officially putting the area in a heat wave.
This was due to typical summer-like area of high pressure sitting over top of us, combined with sinking air and stronger winds.
This allowed afternoon temps to really soar into the 90s.
Cleveland was officially in a heat wave due to this. A heat wave here is defined as three consecutive days with temperatures greater than 90 degrees.
