A record-setting 102 degrees was recorded at Reading Regional Airport on Tuesday, marking only the 10th time that the mercury has gone that high at an official site in Berks County.
It was also the second day in a row for at least 100 degrees, and that marked only the sixth time for back-to-back 100s.
Another 100 is in the forecast for today. Only one other time has there been back-to-back-to-back 100s: July 2-4, 1966.
Records date to 1898. For most of those years, the measurements were taken in the city. The airport became the official site in 1999.
