| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | One of the hottest and most humid air masses of the summer affected the southeastern Pennsylvania on the 7th and most of eastern Pennsylvania on the 8th. Highest temperatures were well into the 90s in most areas. The 8th was the hottest day. In addition, dew point temperatures, especially on the 8th were as high as the mid to upper 70s. This produced afternoon heat indices as high as around 105F on the 8th. ||Highest temperatures included 97 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport and New Hope (Bucks County), 96 degrees in Reading (Berks County) and Doylestown and Perkasie (Bucks County), 95 degrees in Easton (Northampton County) and Willow Grove (Montgomery County) and 94 degrees at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, Pottstown (Montgomery County) and West Chester (Chester County).||A cold front moved through the state on the night of the 8th. While there were some high temperatures in the lower 90s around Philadelphia on the 9th humidity levels were much lower. It was feared that if the excessive heat lasted one day longer, heat related deaths would have started in urbanized areas. |
