On this date, July 20th, in weather history... In 1930, the temperature in Washington DC soared to an all-time record of 106 degrees. The next day, Millsboro reached 110 degrees to set a record for the state of Delaware. July 1930 was one of the hottest and driest summers in the U.S. In 1981, a late afternoon F2 tornado touched down in Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania (Northampton County). It skipped along the ground for the first 2.75 to 3.00 miles, then remained on the ground the last 0.75 to 1.00 mile. Many residents observed two distinct funnels side by side 50 feet apart. Damage was light in the unpopulated region.
