| episode_narrative | An early-season four-day heat wave, following a period of cooler than normal weather, took it's toll on outdoor enthusiasts who were unprepared for the dramatic temperature swing. Not one week earlier, minimum temperatures ranged from the lower 30s in the cooler suburbs to the lower 40s downtown; only one day before the heat wave began, maximum temperatures will in the 60s.One person, a 42 year old male, suffered heat stroke in Northwest. May 20 was the hottest day of the period; Washington/National airport (DCA) set a new record at 96°F. Temperatures were in the mid and upper 90s during the period, but heat indices were held at the actual temperatures by low relative humidity. Potomac Electric Power Co (PEPCO) administered "brown-outs" in the Washington metropolitan area to reduce energy consumption. |
