Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe most oppressive hot spell of the summer season affected Delaware from July 15th through the 20th. Widespread high temperatures reached into the mid 90s and the most oppressive days (combination of heat and humidity) occurred on the 18th and 19th. Morning lows those days were only around 80 degrees in highly urbanized areas. Afternoon heat indices reached 105 to 110 degrees. There was one heat related death reported in New Castle (New Castle County). A 55-year-old man was found outdoors and unresponsive. | |To combat the heat, many municipalities opened or extended hours of cooling centers. Highest temperatures included 96 degrees in Georgetown, Redden and Bethany Beach in Sussex County, 95 degrees in Dover (Kent County) and the New Castle County Airport and 92 degrees in Blackbird (New Castle County). A stalling front brought an end to the excessive heat on the 21st and to 90 degree high temperatures by the 22nd in the northern part of the state and the 23rd in the southern part of the state.
