Japan?
Crimate Change.
Summer of 45 was hotter. In some places the temperature got up to about 5000 degrees Fahrenheit
I’m sure all the thermometers were perfectly accurate to a fraction of a degree 125 years ago.
Solar flares and an underwater volcano accounted for a lot of the high temperatures.
If the heat was sustained week after week this summer, there was probably a reappearance of those horrid Murder Hornets.
They seem to love overwhelming heat during the day.
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.
It’s been Toasty in Arizona Too.
But summer is over and
Life is Good.
I’ll wait for Watts Up With That? to debunk this.
Interesting. August temperatures where I live were 4 degrees cooler in 2023 than 2022, and my electric bill for air con was 32% lower.
Every measurement must include an estimate of uncertainty. Such a number is not a guess. It is a calculation.
But we never see estimates of uncertainty when it comes to Climate Change. Could it be that the estimates of uncertainty are so large that they make the reported values worthless?
As an example, suppose I report a temperature increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius. And my calculated estimate of uncertainty is +/- 1.7 degrees Celsius. Then it’s possible that the temperature even dropped!
So I’ll just report the 1.5 degrees, and make the Climate Change alarmists happy.
Wow! It was at least this hot 125 years ago!
How hot was it, Kenji?
What happened in 1832?
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
Yeah, we had a hot summer. All summers here are hot.
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.
