1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer because of severe climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease by 0.4–0.7 °C (0.7–1 °F). [1] Summer temperatures in Europe were the coldest of any on record between 1766 and 2000, [2] resulting in crop failures and major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere. [3]
Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth could still be at Death Valley, but is instead 54.0 °C (129.2 °F) recorded on 30 June 2013. [14] This is lower than a 1931 measurement of 55 °C (131 °F) recorded in Kebili, Tunisia, but the WMS rejects this measurement as due to an inexperienced operator misreading the ...
Here's a statistic: On Earth, 18 of the last 19 years have been the warmest in recorded history. And as both NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on ...
The next world record low temperature was a reading of −88.3 °C (−126.9 °F; 184.8 K), measured at the Soviet Vostok Station in 1968, on the Antarctic Plateau. Vostok again broke its own record with a reading of −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K) on 21 July 1983. [8] This remains the record for a directly recorded temperature.
Lower 48 records range from minus 2 degrees to minus 70 degrees. The graphic below shows the all-time coldest temperature on record in each state, according to NOAA. Those record-low benchmarks ...
The coldest month on record was February 1934, when New Jersey's average temperature was 17.2 degrees, according to state records. Still, 1904 stands as the coldest year on record in New Jersey.
The cold wave was related to a highly negative North Atlantic Oscillation event during that winter driving cold Arctic air into most of North America. [1] February 1936 was the coldest February on record in the contiguous U.S., narrowly eclipsing February 1899. [2] It also was the coldest month ever in Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
A map of towns which reported damage. Not all of these damage areas were definitely tornadic, and some tornadoes hit more than one town. [4] [5]Between 1953 and 2004, there was an average of one tornado per year within the Connecticut.
