| episode_narrative | Bermuda high pressure brought a southwest flow of hot and humid air to Massachusetts during the holiday weekend. The temperature only fell to a low of 81 degrees at Logan International Airport in Boston on July 5th, which was a record minimum high temperature for the date. The previous record was 79 degrees which was set in 1919. Although the high temperature of 98 degrees on the 5th did not break a record in Boston, the spell of heat and high humidity resulted in two deaths and record electricity usage in Boston. An 86-year old woman died from heat exhaustion after being rushed to the hospital from a private nursing home, and a 64-year old woman, also a resident of a Boston nursing home, died of similar causes later that day. |
