On June 7, the season's second Bermuda High brought the first 90 degree weather to western Massachusetts. At the Albany International Airport it was the first official 90 degree temperature since August 16, 1997. The temperature did not stop there, but soared all the way to 95 degrees. This value tied the daily record for the date last set in 1925. The combination of heat and humidity produced heat indices close to 100 degrees in the Berkshires, during the hottest portion of the day. There were no unusual problems or power outages reported due to the excessive heat.

What these are

Heat: Heat below excessive heat criteria that still caused deaths, injuries or significant impacts.
