The second peak of August’s greatest heat wave took place on the 14th and 15th of 1944. Wilder, Vermont reached 100 degrees, while St. Johnsbury was not far behind with 98, and Burlington edged up to 97. This was the fourth heat wave of the summer, a record tied in 1949, 1953, and 1988, but never broken.
