I don’t think of Minnesota as a place where 100f+ occurs with regularity or for sustained periods. A brief search confirms my assumptions, but I’m happy to be proven otherwise.

There are parts of the US where 100f is reached by midday and persists past sunset for over a month, with high humidity.

Actually getting over 100f is decently rare in Minnesota. I’d guess most summers we do, but not for extended periods. We often get a few weeks where the high is in the upper 90s.

However, our humidity can get extremely high - basically as bad as it gets in our country. Our record seems to be a dew point of 88, and the highest ever recorded in the US is 90 (in Louisiana).

The corn sweat is the biggest contributor, but all of our lakes don’t help either.
