?? I asked about temperatures BEFORE records began. Ie from what we know of climate historically, when would be the most likely time for temps to exceed 100F?. eg.. pre christian era,iron age, dinousaur age?... "Ron Button" wrote in message ...

The time around the Norman Conquest and the writing of the Domesday book is the best reference point ie, 11th century or thereabouts. Before that the Post Glacial optimum in the Atlantic Period would have been about 7000 years bp IIRC. -- Steve Jackson, Bablake Weather Station, Coventry, UK http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/bws |
