2010 The hottest year on record

[Chris]

Average high temperatures this time of year across much of the state are suppose to be in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees but high temperatures have been averaging in the mid and upper 90s to around 100 degrees for the last 3-4 days, with a much drier air mass in place.

The city of Greenwood is one location that has experienced some of the hottest weather over the past several days with 4 consecutive days of record breaking temperatures with a high of 98 degrees on Friday, 99 degrees on Saturday and 100 degrees on Sunday and Monday.

Other locations that have tied or broken at least one daily record high temperature over the last several days include Tupelo, Philadelphia, Carthage, Cleveland, Independence, Rolling Fork, Stoneville, Hickory Flat, Tunica, Hattiesburg, Columbus, Yazoo City and Vicksburg.

Hmmm..... Records being established for warm and cold, often only days apart in the same spot.

One of the primary predictions of global warming is that there will be wider and wilder swings in the weather, with an overall warming trend.

Here's why it was the hottest year

Now Frank, we have always known which head you think with

Uhhh olfraud, record temps derived by data manipulation.....aren't. And let's see here "an overall warming trend"????.......

These guys say nope!

A recently published estimate of Earth’s global warming trend is 0.63 ± 0.28 W/m2, as calculated from ocean heat content
anomaly data spanning 1993–2008. This value is not representative of the recent (2003–2008) warming/cooling
rate because of a “flattening” that occurred around 2001–2002. Using only 2003–2008 data from Argo floats, we find
by four different algorithms that the recent trend ranges from –0.010 to –0.160 W/m2 with a typical error bar of ±0.2
W/m2. These results fail to support the existence of a frequently-cited large positive computed radiative imbalance.

Of all 513 weather stations east of the Mississippi River, 40 percent reported to the council their hottest average nighttime low temperatures on record and more than 80 percent reported average nighttime low temperatures among their five hottest on record this past summer.

Record nighttime temperatures reportedly were set at weather stations in 37 states, including Pennsylvania.

"The long hot summer of 2010 follows the hottest decade on record, and more record high temperatures can be expected in the future as heat-trapping pollution continues to build-up in our atmosphere," Lashof said.

Wow, fancy that, it was hot in the south. However it wasn't hot in the deserts of California.

Good article. Thank you.

Seems that there is some disagreement among the physicists on how to interpret the data.


Records reveal robust ocean warming - physicsworld.com

'Consistent' with global warming
After gaining an understanding of the sources of uncertainty in each OHCA curve, the team was able to combine the data to obtain a curve that is more representative of global ocean temperature than its constituents. It reveals that the oceans have warmed at a rate of about 0.64 ± 0.11 W/m2 over the past 16 years. According to Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, this is "reasonably consistent with expectations from other indications of global warming".

However, the re-analysis sheds little light on why ocean temperatures appear to have remained steady since about 2004. This is at odds with satellite measurements, which suggest the Earth has continued to heat up over the past six years, leading to questions over where the "missing heat" has gone.

Indeed, Stefan Rahmstorf, a climate scientist at Potsdam University near Berlin, says that the new study does solve this problem. "The accuracy of measurements is still not sufficient to close the energy budget particularly for short-term variations, in other words, over a few years, as associated with El Niño".

Its not the warmest year on record in CA.

It was the hottest year on record in specific locations and thos are the ones they focus on. In many areas it was significantly cooler, those get ignored.

Metro Detroit may see a record high temperature for today's date as a layer of low pressure in Minnesota pushes warmth our way, according to the National Weather Service.

The area is expected to flirt with hitting 89 degrees, the record set on Sept. 23, 1936, said weather service meteorologist Steve Considine who works out of the service's White Lake Township reporting station.

The Triad tied a yearly record of 64 days of temperatures 90 degrees or above when it hit 91 degrees yesterday at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

The record was set in 2007, the National Weather Service in Raleigh said. Before that, the year with the most days of 90-degree or higher temperatures was 58 days in 1933.

The current record of 90-plus days in the Triad could be surpassed, with high temperatures of 90 or above forecast through Saturday, a weather service website said.

So you are accusing all the scientists involved in observations of climate worldwide of fraud? Would you care to link to some kind of evidence for your accusations?

Of course you would not, just more yap-yap from another ignoramous

NOAA: This year warmest on record so far

So far, this has been the hottest year in recorded history.

On Friday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released new data showing that, from January to July, the average global temperature was 58.1 degrees. That was 1.22 degrees over the average from the 20th century, and the hottest since 1880, when reliable records begin.

And, while NOAA experts say global climate change isn't the only reason that 2010 has been so hot--an El Nino event earlier in the year pushed temperatures up--it's still the most important reason.

Post Carbon: NOAA: This year warmest on record so far - David A. Fahrenthold

i have a question:

in 1880 how many temperature stations were there....where were they and what technology was in place....

in 2010...(which isn't over yet so there are 4 more months of autum and winter temperatures).....how many temperature stations were there....where were they and what technology was in place....

And in actuallity many of those claims of record heat derive from single ground based weather stations that are located at airports thus benefitting from acres and acres of tarmac and the heat generated by that to recorde the "record heat" claims.

Total complete bullshit. If that were so, the satellite and ground station records would differ markedly. Instead, they show very good coorelation.

Of course they show good correlation they're both off! Weather stations are being "adjusted" 50 years after the fact and the satellite data is reading 15 degrees too hot.

CLEVELAND -- The first day of fall felt more like a summer one with a new record high set at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.


The mercury hit 89 degrees at 3:40 p.m. Thursday afternoon, setting aside the old record of 88 degrees in 1936.

Thursday marked the 99th day this year when the thermometer has been at least 80 degrees or better in the Greater Cleveland area.

Record high temperatures were also set in Mansfield with 90 degrees. Their old record was 90 in 1936.

Toledo's new record is 92 degrees after clipping the old record of 90 degrees in 1945.

Akron Canton and Youngstown both remained below their records on Thursday. Akron was 88 degrees. Youngstown was 86 degrees.

WKYC Meteorologist Betsy Kling says Friday will likely be another record setting day as well with temperatures again expected near 90. Friday's record high in Cleveland is 87 degrees set back in 1941.

The first full day of autumn still feels a lot like summer as daytime highs continue to soar into the mid- to upper 90s in the afternoon. And for the third straight day, Evansville tied or exceeded the record high temperature for the day.

The city recorded a temperature of 96 degrees, topping the 2007 record of 94 degrees. It comes a day after Evansville tied a 70-year-old record of 94 degrees on Wednesday, and two days after establishing a new record high for Sept. 21 at 98 degrees. The old record for Tuesday was 96 degrees, set in 1955.

Well, dimbulb, you really think that there is only one satellite taking temperatures? Many satellites from many nations. Your lies are getting more desperate, Walleyes.

The problem for you that would lie about what is being observed is that it is not just one nation, or one discipline, or even one group of scientists that are doing the observing of the warming temperatures, both land and sea. Rather, it is the whole of the scientific community, worldwide. So, you have either to invent a worldwide conspiracy of scientists from all nations and political systems, or you have to denigrate science.

You try to do both, but have failed in your attempts. The changing of the climate is just too obvious to the citizens of this planet.
