Oh, that Seattle. :-) That is an interesting page. Some of the lower record high temperature for day of the year have stood since before 1900. And there is a 12 degree difference between highest and lowest day of the year record high during the month of August. These two facts seem to make the day of the year high temperature records in summer less remarkable. I don't know what it does to Eric's confidence. ================================================== = I also noticed some of those anomalies leading me to think that some of those record highs in the 80's aren't correct. Most of the cities' record highs for a month such as August I think are much closer than that. I used Tulsa's record highs for the month earlier. Hottest August day was 115 in 1936 and the lowest high for the month was 106 set in 1935. Mind you, that's 9 degrees difference so, perhaps, that 12 differential above isn't that odd after all. |

The hottest ever was in 1981 at 99. Yes, that is indeed interesting. You will see that the number I posted was taken directly from an official NWS site, not weather.com. I can't verify either the temperature reading posted for 15 August, nor can I verify the record temperature which was reported either. Also, there's no way to say whether the same site data is referenced. If the weather.com data is correct, then there's been a mistake. That's not really something I can do anything about. -- Eric Swanson --- E-mail address: e_swanson(at)skybest.com :-) -------------------------------------------------------------- |

They are probably correct, the Pacific is COLD and if there is an offshore breeze, you need a jacket. (see average temps) Most of the cities' record highs for a month such as August I think are much closer than that. I used Tulsa's record highs for the month earlier. Hottest August day was 115 in 1936 and the lowest high for the month was 106 set in 1935. Mind you, that's 9 degrees difference so, perhaps, that 12 differential above isn't that odd after all. It isn't odd, it is what should be expected with less than 200 observations. But there may not be too many places where a lot more than 200 observations for a day of year has filled in every date with temperatures nearly the same. |

The hottest ever was in 1981 at 99. The data I posted was from the official National Weather Service Office in Seattle. Now, if you want to use the Weather Channel as an accurate source of data, go ahead. First, tell us the exact location of the measurements they present. I'd bet that the NWS site is the Seattle airport. There are lots of other sites around Seattle, which might explain the difference. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sew/observations.php Of course, there's always the chance for human error. Don't throw out all the other data just because you think there might be a problem with one value. There were 192 records set according to the NCDC site and many of the NWS reports are not included in the NCDC data set. -- Eric Swanson --- E-mail address: e_swanson(at)skybest.com :-) -------------------------------------------------------------- |
