1901 eastern United States heat wave
The 1901 eastern United States heat wave was the most severe and deadly heat wave in the United States prior to the 1930s dust bowl. Although the heat wave did not set many still-standing daily temperature records, it was exceptionally prolonged – covering without interruption the second half of June and all of July – and centred upon more highly populated areas than later American heat waves. The heat wave accompanied a major drought in the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest, with Illinois having what remains its driest calendar year since records have been kept,〔National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; (Illinois Average January to December Precipitation )〕 and Missouri being only above its driest calendar year of 1953.
==June==
In spite of frequent “northeasters” leading to record heavy rainfall over east coast states from Massachusetts〔National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; (Massachusetts April to May Precipitation )〕 to South Carolina〔National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; (South Carolina April to May Precipitation )〕 during April and May, drought had already been developing over the interior. However, only over the sparsely-populated far northern Great Plains was the spring unusually hot.
The heat really set in during the second week in June, when Springfield, Missouri began a sequence of fifty days with a lowest maximum of and an average of . It intensified and spread from June 25, when Philadelphia began twelve consecutive days above – a record it would not surpass until 1953. As the heat wave spread to New York City – in an era without sanitation or air conditioning – it had by the close of June began to severely disrupt life. It was documented that by the end of June several deranged inhabitants committed suicide when emotionally disturbed by the hot and still weather,〔‘Jumps from High Bridge: A Broker Takes His Life Because of Heat and Sorrow’; ''New York Tribune'', June 30, 1901〕 which had risen to a maximum of and a minimum of by the end of June.
