--August 21, 2002, was the twenty-fourth consecutive day that no
                measurable precipitation has fallen at the Philadelphia
International
                Airport in Pennsylvania. This is one day short of tying
the summer
                season record, from August 1 through August 25 in 1972,
and five days
                short of tying the all-time record of 29 days, set
during the fall of
                1874. While no measurable precipitation has fallen at
the
                Philadelphia International Airport since 0.07 of an inch
fell on July
                28, it has rained twice at the Northeast Philadelphia
Airport on
                August 2 (0.70 of an inch) and on August 20 (0.30 of an
inch).
