| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The first run of unseasonably hot and humid weather for the summer season on June 13th and 14th caused a few heat related deaths within Philadelphia and early dismissals for many schools that did not have air conditioners. Within Philadelphia, a 69-year-old woman, a 74-year old woman and a 76-year-old man were found dead within their respective homes. They all either had no air conditioning or did not turn the unit on. On June 14th, PECO Energy usage of 7,800 megawatts exceeded the energy usage of any day during the summer of 2004. Pennsylvania Power and Light (PPL) came within 101 megawatts of their old time usage record on June 14th. To help combat the heat, the Bucks County Area Agency on Aging distributed fans. In Chester County, the Salvation Army in conjunction with the Department of Aging Services delivered electric fans to seniors. The highest temperatures during this heat spell included 94 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport and Valley Forge (Chester County), 93 degrees in Reading and Hamburg (Berks County) and Doylestown (Bucks County), 92 degrees in Pottstown (Montgomery County), Perkasie (Bucks County) and West Chester (Chester County), 91 degrees at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, Coatesville (Chester County) and Lancaster (Lancaster County). The 94 degree high temperature at the Philadelphia International Airport was one degree higher than the highest temperature for all of 2004. The hot and humid spell came to an end when a cold front moved through the region on the morning of the 15th. While some locations reached into the lower 90s that day, afternoon humidity levels were considerably lower. |
