| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A hot and very humid airmass seeped into the Mid Atlantic on July 17 and July 18. The heat index value climbed to around 105 degrees both afternoons. Emergency response officials reported sporadic incidents of heat-related illness, such as shortness of breath and heat exhaustion, around the Washington/Baltimore Metropolitan region. Three deaths were attributed directly to this heat wave. The deaths occurred in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC. Two additional deaths, also in the Maryland suburbs, were indirectly attributed to this heat wave, since they were related to pre-existing health conditions. |
