A photo-record of a very hot day, July 6, 2010, in New Castle County, Wilmington, Delaware. The thermometer reads 103 degrees and this matches the official high as recorded as the airport.  A high temperature record was also broken for July 7, when the high temperature was again 103 degrees.  The airport recorded it as 101 degrees.  This record is mentioned in an article about heat waves in wikipedia:
