INDIANAPOLIS — The heat dome that much of Indiana was trapped under during July made it among the driest and hottest on record for some parts of the state.
The National Weather Service says the 0.47 of an inch of rain that it measured in Indianapolis was the least it had ever recorded — breaking a mark that had stood since 1914. The 82 degree average temperature was central Indiana's hottest in 75 years.
Fort Wayne had its hottest July on record with a 79.8 degree average temperature. That city saw 0.98 of an inch in rainfall, making the month its fifth driest.
Not all the state fared so bad. South Bend saw 2.5 inches of rain in July. Evansville had more than 6 inches, but no significant showers since July 12.
