Breaking Records

This has been a record setting summer when it comes to the heat. It seems that every other day we having been talking about setting new record highs. A viewer from St. Pauls recently e-mailed asking about just how many times we have set a record this month. I honestly had lost track of the last number, so I had to do a little research on that one. By my count, the record high has been tied or broken 11 days so far this month at RDU. That includes Saturday's record setting high of 99. That also includes August 21 when the high of 105 tied the all time record high for Raleigh.

Here's a look at this month's record setting days at RDU
