| episode_narrative | The first heat wave of 1997 brought the hottest weather in two years to the Philadelphia area. The highest temperatures reached near 100 degrees on the 25th. Four persons died of hyperthermia within the city. Three died on the 26th, the last day of the heat wave. All the deaths occurred within their homes. One had no air conditioning or fans with the windows closed. The other three had no air conditioning, the fans on, but the windows closed. The heat wave started on the 21st. A weak cold front briefly brought drier air into the region on the 23rd. But that was short-lived as both heat and humidity levels became oppressive again on the 24th. The highest temperatures included 99 degrees at the Franklin Institute and 96 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport and 94 degrees at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport. The 96 degree high at the Philadelphia International Airport was the hottest day at the airport since August 18, 1995 when the high was 97 degrees. |
