The mercury surged to 100 degrees Wednesday, a record high, ahead of cooling thunderstorms that did little to alleviate dry conditions in Berks County.
The century mark was reached shortly after 1 p.m. at Reading Regional Airport, the official National Weather Service station in Berks.
The 100 bettered the previous record of 98 from 1953 and 1999.
