Hottest Day Since August 1988

August 16, 1988 was also the last time the Indianapolis area reached 100 degrees until today. The high temperature that day was 102 degrees. The temperature at Indianapolis reached 100 degrees as of 3:07 pm this afternoon, and the temperature could still increase by a degree or two. The record high for today however is 106, which looks unattainable.
