| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The first run of excessive heat and humidity of the summer season occurred during the work week of June 23rd across most of Delaware. 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 and stagnant air mass led the State Environment Official to declare a code red ozone alert. State officials recommended that persons avoid prolonged exposure outside and go to malls, stores or other public places. The heat caused scattered power outages, especially on the 26th. In Wilmington, about 75 elderly residents evacuated from a high rise apartment after the building's back-up generator failed. Four residents were treated for heat related symptoms. Hospitals in central and southern Delaware treated about 15 persons for heat exhaustion. Many worked outdoors. Highest temperatures included 98 degrees in Georgetown (Sussex County), 94 degrees in Milford (Kent/Sussex County), 93 degrees at the New Castle County Airport and Greenwood (Sussex County). |
