I remember that day, I think I was out cutting the grass.

I live in Bullhead City, AZ...our claim to fame is that we are the hottest (and I don’t mean hip) city in America. These last two weeks have been beyond anything I’ve ever experienced here...averaging 120 a day. But that’s not the bad part, the humidity has been chart topping. I’m so done with heat. But I love this town, so what can I do?? :)

Things aint so hot for Kenyans, though.

Lake Havasu City.

I lived there then.

I stepped outside only once to get the mail. At the mailbox, I noticed I was sinking into the roadway.

It was melting.

[cripplecreek]

112 for michigan and the coldest was just two years earlier at -51 in 1934.

Warm here today at 92 degrees.

In case anyone else accidentally misread the CA data the way I did,here’s a copy and paste from the source page:

California

-45 Jan. 20, 1937 Boca elevation 5,532
134 July 10, 1913 Greenland Ranch elevation -178

CA 134 10-Jul-13
This is obviously the year 1913.

ME 105 10-Jul-11
This year can not be determined (1911 or 2011?).

I'm seeing a lot of 1930s vintage numbers on that list. Artifacts of the dirty 30s and Filthy 50s. Not to much after 2000. So where is all this global warming we keep hearing about?

[edpc]

If my count is correct, less than 10 have occurred during my lifetime.....and I wouldn’t exactly call myself young. Immature, maybe.....

[colorado tanker]

We've had a heat wave this August, but it's supposed to break this weekend. Nothing like Colorado's highest, though, mid to high 90’s.

[Charles Henrickson]

25 out of the 50 states had their record high temperature in the 1930s! In five different years in that decade. Sounds like these things naturally go in cycles.

[Gay State Conservative]

Other than Maine I can't see a single state whose record has been set within the last 10 years.Funny that!

[Fiji Hill]

It’s interesting that so many records in the Midwest and East were set during the 1936 heat wave.

[decimon]

North America is said to be the only continent with a broad plain open to both the Arctic and the tropics. That probably accounts for some surprisingly high temperatures in the upper Midwest.

[muir_redwoods]

Where are the numbers for the other seven states?

[Gay State Conservative]

Ooops,sorry...that applies to several New England states.

[Castigar]

25 of them in the 1930’s and a good percentage of those in 1936.

[muir_redwoods]

The coldest temp in CT was set 2/16/43 at minus 32 which is pretty balmy compared to minus 80 in Alaska but stil cold enough for any purpose I have.

[KarlInOhio]

25 of the 49 (Alabama hates thermometers) were from the 1930s. So much for global warming.
