HEAT STORM

Domain	Definition
Energy	Heat storms occur when temperatures exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit overa large area for three days in a row. Normal hot temperatures cause electricity demand to increase during the peak summertime hours of 4 to 7 p.m. when airconditioners are straining to overcome the heat. If a hot spell extends to threedays or more, however, nighttime temperatures do not cool down, and the thermalmass in homes and buildings retains the heat from previous days. This heat build-upcauses air conditioners to turn on earlier and to stay on later in the day. As aresult, available electricity supplies are challenged during a higher, widerpeak electricity consumption period. (references)
