Orlando and Florida are closing 2019 as among hottest years on record
The Orlando Sentinel ^ | December 19, 2019 | Kevin Spear

Orlando is closing out 2019 at about a tenth of a degree behind the hottest year on record for the city, which was 2015, according to the National Weather Service.

Overall, Central Florida temperatures this year are tracking along with much of the Florida peninsula, where cities from Jacksonville to Gainesville to St. Petersburg to Miami are likely to record their hottest or second-hottest years on record.

“Since 2015, we have been warmer than normal consistently,” said Derrick Weitlich, climate-program leader at the National Weather Service office in Melbourne. “The majority of sites in our area have been in the top 10 or the top five warmest.”

The average temperatures for Florida and Georgia from January through last month were the hottest ever observed for that 11-month period, according the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

And the Climate Prediction Center is forecasting December to be warmer than normal for most of the nation.

The average temperature for Orlando’s record-setting 2015 -- a figure from the average of each day’s high and low temperatures -- was 75.6 degrees. The average temperature so far this is year is only about a tenth of a degree cooler.

But, said Weitlich, with 2019 nearly over, it likely will end as Orlando’s second-warmest year. “It would have to be a really strong cold period or really warm end of the month to change that,” he said.

I was in Naples last week after leaving near freezing weather in the DC area. I enjoyed the 80 degree weather so much I’m persuading my wife to consider us relocating there sometime.

It’s either the hottest on record or it’s NOT the hottest on record. AND it’s NOT.

By a tenth of a degree?

Gads these fake scientists are going anal retentive on us...

30 Oct 2019: USA Today: Minus 45 degrees in October? An Arctic blast is breaking records across western and central US
by Doyle Rice
The calendar may say October but the weather is more typical of January in portions of the western and central U.S.
“A wave of Arctic air has infiltrated the northern tier of the United States this week, shattering record lows, and threatening as many as 70 (other record lows) through Halloween,” AccuWeather said...

High temperatures Wednesday were forecast to be 30 to 50 degrees below normal across Colorado, Texas and the central Plains, according to meteorologist Ryan Maue of BAM Weather...

On Tuesday, the high temperature in Denver only hit 18 degrees, which tied for the coldest October day on record in the city, the National Weather Service reported. About a half-foot of snow added to the wintry feel across the metro area.
Denver’s low temperature Thursday morning could come within a few degrees of the city’s all-time coldest October temperature of minus 2 degrees, the Weather Channel said...

While much of the nation freezes, Florida is seeing record highs on Wednesday, Maue said, with temperatures soaring to near 90 degrees in Orlando, Tampa and Miami.

The way they collect these temperatures would insult a moron.

There’s a temperature sensor in Mulberry Florida that was originally put into the middle of a field. Now they have put an asphalt parking lot around it and built a building with a row of air conditioning units next to it. And they still use the temperatures it registers to compare to its time in the field. Result? Serious global warming.

Let’s see Tallahassee had three consecutive days of ALL TIME MONTHLY high-temperature records in October over 100 degrees, each one hotter than the previous day. Gainesville had three record daily highs in May over 100 degrees and an all-time high MONTHLY high temp record in February of 91 which beat the old monthly maximum by 4 degrees!

But then, all the thermometers were made by communists in China and moved by the commie national weather service employees in hundreds of locations from the shade to the sun so these and all Florida heat temperature records are completely bogus.

And even worse fraud occurred this year in Hawaii. While some stations in Fla may have 3 or 4 record daily high temps over a HUNDRED daily high-temperature records were set in
one year alone at several Hawaii weather stations! And they even falsified the record 70 record warm nighttime low temps too!

Probably a simple mistake.

I think they need to check the other ~4.5billion years worth of records.

I don’t believe it. If there’s truth to this “global warming” nonsense, why is where I live not experiencing it?

“The average temperature so far this is year is only about a tenth of a degree cooler.”

So what?

I live in Tallahassee and I will attest this has been a very hot dry year. We went 2 months without rain August to October. Many days close to 100 without the afternoon cool down.

So what high pressure parked in the Gulf. Happens sometimes.

I lived in Daytona in ‘81-’83 while attending ERAU. The winter of ‘82 was brutal in central Florida. Lots of citrus damage. I remember it well because I was living in one of those flat-roofed, cement block houses built in the ‘50 and ‘60’s along the coast. No insulation, cold concrete floor, and those slatted windows. Drafty was a gross understatement.

Most weather monitoring is done at airports or on top of buildings
