How hot was it at the Battle of monmouth?

In: American Revolution [Edit categories]

Answer:

At the battle of Monmouth there was a massive heat wave. Monmouth was the last major engagement fought in the north; it was the longest battle of the war; and it was fought, as no other major engagement, in stifling heat. None who survived the day would ever forget the heat. With more than fifteen hours of sunshine, June 28 was the fifth day of a heat wave, which on the day of the battle saw temperatures close to 100 deg. Fahrenheit. All together there were 59 heat stroke deaths.
