| episode_narrative | A strong Bermuda high developed early in August and brought the most extensive heat wave of the summer to eastern New York and adjacent New England between August 6 and 9. Officially, at the Albany International Airport, there were four consecutive days of 90 degrees or higher, the longest such stretch in over 6 years . The heat wave reached its peak on August 8 and 9. During those days, the high reached 100 and 102 at Poughkeepsie respectively. On those same days the Albany International Airport reached 93 and 96. The 96 was a new daily maximum record for August 9, eclipsing the old record of 94 set in 1949. Humidity levels were also high, which produced heat indices between 105 and 110 near Albany, and 110 to 115 closer to Poughkeepsie. The high heat indices did cause some heat related problems. St. Clare's Hospital in Schenectady reported 9 cases of heat -related symptons. The victims were all children campers at the Pattersonville Camp also in Schenectady County. Four more campers were treated at the campsite. While there no other heat related problems reported to the National Weather Service, the heat led to record state electricity consumption, three days in a row! Governor Pataki closed down the State government at 200 PM on August 9 to conserve power. Hot weather also caused the railroad bridge to malfunction between the cities of Albany and Resselaer, resulting in delays for four of Amtrack's passenger trains on August 9. |
