Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe first run of hot weather that combined high temperatures in the 90s and more oppressive humidity levels affected southeastern Pennsylvania and Berks County on July 6th and 7th and the Lehigh Valley on July 7th. High temperatures reached into the lower to mid 90s both days and combined with dew points of around 70 degrees produced afternoon heat index values of around 100 degrees. High temperatures were about the same both days, but the 7th was slightly more humid. Morning low temperatures were in the 70s, with some upper 70s in and around Philadelphia. A weak cold front dropped temperatures slightly on the 8th.||To combat the heat, many counties, cities and municipalities opened cooling centers. The hours of air-conditioned senior citizen centers were extended. In Philadelphia, the Corporation for Aging had councilors and nurses on the phone. A firefighter battling a blaze in the Frankford section of Philadelphia had to be treated for heat related problems on the 7th.||Highest temperatures included 95 degrees in Ambler (Montgomery County), 94 degrees in Philadelphia, Valley Creek (Chester County), Langhorne (Bucks County) and Martins Creek (Northampton County), 93 degrees in Reading (Berks County) and Aston (Delaware County) and 92 degrees at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, Pottstown (Montgomery County) and Doylestown (Bucks County).
