>UPDATED: 6:05 pm EDT August 17, 2007
>
>ATLANTA -- Atlanta on Friday endured its eighth day of
>100-degree temperatures this month, breaking a record
>for the city's hottest month.
>
>Previously, July 1993 held the record with seven days
>of temperatures of 100 degrees or more, according to

>Hotlanta lived up to its nickname this month, with the
>mercury hitting 100 on August 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16
>and 17, according to the National Weather Service.
>
>The mercury hit 100 degrees by 3 p.m. Friday. At that
>time it was also an even 100 in Rome and Macon, and
>101 in Cartersville.
>
>The four-day stretch of the 8th to the 11th tied the
>record for most days of 100-degree days in August, set
>in 1980, said Pam Knox, Georgia's assistant state
>climatologist.

>The heat wave over much of the nation has proved
>deadly, with nine confirmed deaths in Missouri, eight
>in Illinois, four each in Arkansas and Georgia, three
>in Alabama, two in South Carolina and one in
>Mississippi, as well as one death in Tennessee outside
>Memphis.
>
>Last summer, a heat wave killed at least 50 people in
>the Midwest and East. California officially reported a
>death toll of 143, but authorities last month
>acknowledged the number may have been far higher. A
>1995 heat wave in Chicago was blamed for 700 deaths.
>
>In the Atlanta area, thunderstorms were predicted for
>Friday evening, followed by sunny weather Saturday and
>temperatures in the high 90s, according to the
>National Weather Service.

>Atlanta residents shouldn't feel too miserable. "It's
>not nearly as bad as Augusta," where it was 103 late
>Friday afternoon and which has experienced 12 days of
>100-degree temperatures this month, Knox said.
