| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The first run of excessive heat and humidity of the summer season occurred during the work week of June 24th. The highest temperatures and heat indices occurred on the 26th. This was a marked contrast from the unseasonably cool and wet June prior to this week. Temperatures and moisture levels eased after a cold front moved through the region during the day on the 27th. The excessive heat contributed to four fish kills along the Eastern Shore. The fish kills occurred on the tributaries of the Miles and Avon Rivers in Talbot County and affected schools of killifish, silversides, carp, white perch and mummy chugs. It was believed the combination of the sudden blistering heat, nutrient runoff because of the heavier rain earlier in the month and a bloom of phytoplankton (which removes oxygen) killed the fish. The temperature spike might have also shocked the fish. Highest temperatures included 95 degrees in Stevensville (Queen Anne's County), 93 degrees in Salisbury (Wicomico County), the Baltimore-Washington International Airport and Easton (Talbot County). |
