National Weather Service reported conditions of 93-degrees F, Dew Point 70 , and heat index of 100-degrees at the time of the incident. The ambient air tem perature, the black rubber/tar roofing material, and the steel vessel Employee # 1 entered while wearing a Tyvek suit, all contributed to the employee's core tem perature to increase > 105-degrees.
