Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn unseasonably hot and one of the most humid air masses of the summer combined to produce afternoon hourly heat indices of between 100F to 105F. High temperatures themselves were in the lower to mid 90s. There was one heat related death within Philadelphia. High temperatures included 95 degrees in Reading (Berks County), 94 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport, 92 degrees in Pottstown (Montgomery County) and 91 degrees in Doylestown (Bucks County) and the Lehigh Valley International Airport.||This latest hot spell solidified July 2012 as one of the hottest Julys on record in Pennsylvania. It was the 5th hottest July on record (dating back through 1895) with a statewide average temperature of 74.5 degrees. At the Philadelphia International Airport, the July monthly mean temperature of 81.8 degrees was the 3rd warmest on record and the 21 days in which the maximum temperature reached 90 degrees or higher tied 2011 and four other Julys for the greatest ever.
