| episode_narrative | The first bona-fide summer heat wave in nearly two years arrived in the city after a three month period of below normal temperatures. The maximum temperature on the 25th at Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) reached 99 degrees, shattering the previous record by 1 degree. At Baltimore's Custom House, the reading soared to 104. Readings rose to 96 at BWI on the 26th before a line of strong thunderstorms cooled the atmosphere. Heat indices in town surpassed 105 for a brief period on the 25th; however, the values likely remained at or above 90 degrees for much of the overnight hours in the more densely populated sections of the city, including the downtown sector.The heat wave was potentially more dangerous than most since it occurred early in the season and was preceded by a three month period of below normal temperatures and several cloudy periods.No serious injuries or fatalities occurred due to the heat. However, several persons were admitted to area hospitals for brief stays due to minor heat exhaustion. |
