The hot weather ended abruptly with severe thunderstorms during the late afternoon of the 26th. In Philadelphia, two women died from the heat (a 65-year-old and an 80-year-old). In Montgomery County, a 75-year-old man was found dead in the room of a Pennsburg motel. There was no air conditioning in the room and the room temperature at the time of discovery was 110 degrees.
