| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | One of the most oppressive heat waves since mid July 1995 enveloped Delaware from July 21st through the 24th. Many locations had high temperatures that reached into the 100s. The most oppressive day was July 22nd when the combination of temperature and dew points pushed heat index values to between 110F and 125F. ||Highest temperatures (most of which occurred on the 22nd) included 104 degrees in Georgetown (Sussex County), 102 degrees at the New Castle County Airport and 101 degrees in Dover (Kent County). The highest hourly heat index at the New Castle County Airport was 124 degrees on the 22nd. ||At the New Castle County Airport, the 102 degree high temperature on the 22nd was the hottest day since July 7, 2010 (103 degrees) and the 7th highest maximum temperature on record. The minimum temperature of 82 degrees on the 22nd was the third highest minimum temperature on record and the warmest morning since August 7, 1918. The monthly average temperature of 80.8 degrees was the second warmest July on record to 1955 (81.2 degrees). ||This heat wave helped make July 2011 the hottest July on record for the state of Delaware with a statewide average temperature of 80.8 degrees. ||A weak cold front ended the heat wave on the 25th. |
