BOONE COUNTY, KY (FOX19) – The heat index at Cnicinnati -Northern Kentucky Internaitonal Airport reached nearly 100 degrees Monday afternoon, but readings at other local airports are 5 or 6 degrees higher than that, with Middletown's Hook Field reaching 115.7 degrees.

The temperatures are not particularly close to record territory, but the humidity is, with dewpoints around the region ranging from the mid-70’s to 80 degrees.

FOX19 Meteorologist Steve Horstmeyer says there are two reasons the humidity is so high: all the recent rain has left loads of water in the soil, event after a couple days with little or no rain, and the winds coming from the southwest have brought in lots of moisture of their own, picked up when crossing over Arkansas and neighboring states. 

There is not  a record available for hottest heat index ever, but Horstmeyer says if there were one, it couldn’t be more than a couple degrees beyond what some areas are experiencing now.&nbs
