« State board OK's Brady to serve as Prov. schools chief | Today | Firefighters at Elmwood residence fire in Providence » June 9, 2008Update: At 97 degrees, heat breaks R.I. record by 2The Providence area sweated and sweltered on its way to a new record for this day, with temperatures hitting 97 degrees. The previous record of 95 degrees was set in 1984, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick hit the 97-degree mark at 3:03 p.m. The area had hit the 96-degree mark as of 2:02 p.m., and tied the old record of 95 degrees as of 1:01 p.m. The hot weather is driving Rhode Island to seek relief at the shore and so far has closed schools in Pawtucket.

As a long time New England resident - 1937-2001, I am now a Florida resident where these temps are an every day occurence. The only relief we have down here is a daily thunderstorm with rain, but it really doesn't cool things off. I don't remember many really scorcher days up north. Gil
