Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA three day heat wave from the 9th through the 11th peaked with high temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and afternoon heat indices of around 105F on the 10th in Delaware. A pair of backdoor cold fronts ended the hot weather on the 12th.

Actual highest temperatures for the 10th and 11th from north to south included 96 degrees at the New Castle County Airport, 93 degrees in Dover (Kent County) and 99 degrees in Georgetown (Sussex County) ||While August did not crack the top ten warmest, the summer of 2010 was the warmest meteorological summer on record for the state of Delaware since 1895 with an average temperature of 78.1 degrees. It was also the warmest meteorological summer on record at the New Castle County Airport with an average temperature of 77.8 degrees.
