Houston Chronicle has a weather section, a whole page, daily. I cut it out and keep it. I see no evidence temperature rising. These records only go back to 1890, hardly the beginning of the earth! But they give record highs/lows, and normal highs/lows, and yesterday’s highs/lows. A lot of the record temps were in the 1890s. Now I see more than one reason for that...
Like WHAT kind of thermometers did they use in 1890s, certainly NOT digital.
Where were the thermometers stationed, are they still in same places?
How accurate were they?
I can not chart rising temperatures rising and I have been keeping these records for many YEARS.
BTW I live on Texas Gulf Coast since 1973, with just a few excursions to live in California - temporary relocations...
We have the same old weather patterns here that we had in 1973. Snows about once every 15 years, a foot or so. Rest of the time, no snow, but we do get a lot of temps in the 20s in the winter.
We have had to evacuate for hurricanes four times since 1973. Never had any damage to our house or trees or garage. Hurricane Ike was really bad in Galveston and between here and Houston, but didn’t knock a single shingle off our house....
