Whew! Japan had hottest summer on record, weather agency says
AsiaOne ^ | SEPTEMBER 01, 2023

Posted on 09/06/2023 7:03:38 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Japan recorded its highest average temperature this summer in 125 years, the nation's weather agency said on Friday (Sept 1).

Based on measurements at 15 locations around the country from June through August, the average temperature deviation was +1.76 degrees Celsius, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said. That exceeded the previous record of +1.08 degrees in 2010.

JMA's data goes back to 1898.

Average temperatures were considerably higher in the northern, eastern, and western parts of the country, the JMA said.

Also, since it’s an average of 15 locations, one or two locations with averages well above their record averages could bring the collective average up a degree or two even though the other 13 or 14 locations experienced below average temps.

An average temperature for Japan, which has elevations from sea level to 12,388 ft., is meaningless in relation to the whole of Japan much less the whole globe.

"On record." 125 years. A minute fraction of man's Biblical existence, and a speck in the attribute ages of science.

More recent:

Adhikari and Kumon (2001) analyzed the total organic carbon, total nitrogen and sand content of sediment cores extracted from Lake Nakatsuna in central Japan (36°30'N, 137°51'E) to produce a proxy record of climate for this region that covered the past 1300 years. This project revealed both the well-known Medieval Warm Period (AD 900-1200), which the two researchers said was "warmer than any other period during the last 1300 years," and the Little Ice Age (AD 1200-1950), which was punctuated by three major cold phases (AD 1300-1470, 1700-1760 and 1850-1950) -http://www.co2science.org/subject/m/summaries/mwpjapan.php

Haha. I’m now in the middle of deeper research of the nine XXII Bomber Group missions. I found a cool relic from the Nakajima Aircraft factory on one of my recent metal detecting outings.

June 28, 1778. The Battle Of Monmouth Courthouse, now present day Freehold, NJ.

By noon on that June day the temperature was 100 degrees. General Hugh Mercer, Washington's aide de camp described the heat as ''The fires of a thousand Hades''. More men died on that day from heat stroke than combat wounds.

Ok. Average temperature is higher. Your objection is?


It tells you nothing. Your head is in the freezer and your feet in the oven. On average you are ok.

My introduction to statistics by an old time professor was this:

STATISTICS NEVER GIVES YOU AN ANSWER, AT BEST IT GIVES YOU ANOTHER QUESTION.

But observe yourself and the headline. You think you got an answer. Liberals look at 2 two variables of the millions of variables in climate and they think they have an answer.

Why? because questions make people uncomfortable, they are not in control.

Now the problem with questions is that all questions lead to the ultimate answer which is God. Even Einstein knew this.

It’s also a fact that many weather stations originally were established in wide open spaces... years later, cities have grown around them. Even if the thermometers and measurement methods were accurate, it is no longer valid to compare a temperature from today with one from years ago.

Every measurement must include an estimate of uncertainty....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are absolutely correct and I make that point often when dealing with ‘the sky is falling crowd’.

On another point, the article says that “Japan recorded its highest average temperature this summer in 125 years...” Correct me if I’m wrong but summer isn’t over yet, is it? Or are seasons somehow different in Japan?

I remember earlier this summer, it was incredibly dry and I had a family member decrying how hard this was on her trees etc. I told her to just wait a bit, it all averages out. In fact, we’ve had an incredible amount of rain since then... I’m going to be very interested in seeing what the total precipitation will be when the summer is over.

An underwater volcano by Tonga erupted last year with tremendous output of water vapor all the way to the stratosphere and most of it is still there. Water vapor is the warmingest “gas” of all. That and the El Niño shift brought us in the Northern Hemisphere a very warm season. It will stay that way for a bit gradually cooling over the next couple of years as the water comes out of the atmosphere.

I heard the summer of ‘45 was so hot that some Jap cities turned into ceramic.
