With the temperature reaching an ice cream-liquefying 95 degrees by 4 p.m., Philly tied a record for the date, first set in 1934, and has an excellent shot at setting a more-impressive one on Sunday.

The unofficial start of the summer season is still a weekend away, but the atmosphere once again is exhibiting its disdain for human conventions.

Away from the beaches, not even the Shore towns were providing much refuge from a vigorous pre-summer pulse of warmth that has triggered heat advisories from Wilmington to Burlington, Vt.Clearly the inland heat was driving Shore traffic, but the ocean is still fighting the winter chills with surf temperatures in the mid-50s.

The leftover moisture from Friday’s rains are keeping the temperature from going even higher, said Jason Franklin, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly, since the sun has to divert more of its energy to evaporation.
