Highest dew point temperature: A dew point of 35 °C (95 °F) — while the temperature was 42 °C (108 °F) — was observed at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, at 3:00 p.m. on 8 July 2003. [ 201 ] Highest heat index : In the observation above at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, the heat index ("feels like" temperature) was 81.1 °C (178.0 °F).
For the United States, the extremes are 134 °F (56.7 °C) in Death Valley, California in 1913 and −79.8 °F (−62.1 °C) recorded in Prospect Creek, Alaska in 1971. The largest recorded temperature change in one place over a 24-hour period occurred on January 15, 1972 in Loma, Montana , when the temperature rose from −54 to 49 °F (−47. ...
The global temperature averaged over the past year is more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than pre-industrial times, seeming to exceed the global agreed upon limit for ...
Highest Temperature: 106 °F (41 °C) 23 August 1916 Torrington, CT [1] 15 July 1995 Danbury, CT: Lowest Temperature: −32 °F (−36 °C) 16 February 1943 Norfolk, CT “The Ice Box of CT” [1] 22 January 1961 Coventry, CT
Scientists were quick to point out that the 1.5 goal is for long-term warming, now defined as a 20-year average. Warming since pre-industrial times over the long term is now at 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit). “The 1.5 degree C threshold isn’t just a number — it’s a red flag.
The annual average temperature is −5.9 °C (21.4 °F), which is the average annual temperature of all weather stations in Japan so far. The only area with a negative value, Mount Fuji's extreme maximum temperature was only 17.8 °C (64.0 °F), which was measured on August 13, 1942.
The average global temperature for the 12-month period to the end of May was 1.63 degrees Celsius (2.9 degrees Fahrenheit) above the pre-industrial average - making it the warmest such period ...
