Heat Records Being Set – (starting) 22 July 2011

Record-breaking heat wave was making news over a few day period, so I decided to collect the ones that crossed my inbox.  Date in parentheses is date of record for the area served by that news source, and I included the old record/year, where given.

1. Providence Journal (101 degrees, 22 July 2011 (100, 1926))
2. Washington Post (121 degree heat index, 22 July 2011)
3. Washington Post (102 degrees, 23 July 2011 (101, 1991))
4. Raleigh News & Observer (5 consecutive days of triple-digit
   temperatures; new record, 19-24 July 2011)
