| episode_narrative | An unseasonably hot and extremely humid air mass was over the city of Philadelphia during most of the work week of August 7th. High temperatures reached into the lower 90s from the 7th through the 10th in and around Philadelphia. Even more important, were the very high dew point temperatures, mainly in the lower and mid 70s. This prevented the surrounding suburbs and especially the city from cooling off at night. The low temperatures on both the 8th and 9th at the Franklin Institute within Philadelphia were 77 degrees. This run of hot and very humid weather led to the heat related deaths of six people within Philadelphia. A weak cold front brought slightly less humid air into the region late in the day on the 10th. Highest temperatures included 93 degrees in Crum Creek (Delaware County) and Green Lane (Montgomery County), 92 degrees at the Franklin Institute within Philadelphia, the Willow Grove NAS (Montgomery County), West Chester (Chester County) and the Philadelphia International Airport and 90 degrees at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport and Neshaminy Falls (Bucks County) |
