The Heat Continues

Records were broken on Saturday and if that wasn't enough, let's go ahead and have another record broken on Sunday!  That's right, Georgetown, Del. broke a second record with a high of 95 degrees, breaking it's old record set last year of 94 degrees.  What will Monday and Tuesday bring??  More hot and humid weather!  Let's talk about the old records...

For Salisbury, Md.
Monday:  97 degrees set back in 1933
Tuesday: 96 degrees set back in 1964

For Wallops Island, Va.
Monday: 94 degrees set back in 1999
Tuesday: 92 degrees set back in 1991

For Georgetown, Del.
Monday: 96 degrees set back in 1959
Tuesday: 97 degrees set back in 1964

Here is some interesting trivia about Georgetown, Del. to show you just how hot it is.  The warmest day Georgetown saw last summer was 99 degrees.  The last time Georgetown saw 100 degrees was on August 3, 2006, but the last day Georgetown saw 100 degrees in June was on June 23, 1988.

So far today (as off 1 p.m.) we have not broken any records YET... but we are very close to breaking a few!
