No Temperature Record Broke In Phoenix Past 12,085 Days And Counting.

[Harry Dresden]

No record set in Phoenix, The USA's high temperature looks like it will never be set in Phoenix.

not as long as Death Valley is around.....

Under the influence of a tenacious heat dome, Phoenix has blown past a record for the longest stretch of days with high temperatures at or above 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius). As of July 26, that record stood at 27 days. (The previous record, set in 1974, was 18 days.)

Phoenix also tied the record (previously set in 2021) for the most days in a row—six—with a high of at least 115 degrees F (46.1 degrees C). Additionally, the city has tied the record for the most days at or above 115 degrees F within a single year, with 14 days so far in 2023.

And Phoenix hasn’t only sweltered during the day. Nighttime lows hit an all-time high record of 97 degrees F (36.1 degrees C), breaking an earlier peak on July 19. The city has seen a record 17 consecutive days with a low of 90 degrees F (32.2 degrees C) or higher. The previous record of seven days was set twice in 2020.

Here Are the Stunning Heat Records Set So Far This Summer

From Phoenix, Ariz., to China to Spain, heat records are being set all over the world

Phoenix hot in the summer! Unprecedented!! Climate irreversible changed!!

Seriously? ... you can't tell this picture is completely faked? ... where are the transmission lines carrying the electric power away? ... there are none? ...

Solar panels go on rooftops, providing for the building the roof protects ... if that's not economical for you, don't do it ... this farm is stupid even with cabling, but I can think of nothing better to do with the land, can you? ...

Big solar projects don't require transmission lines similar to coal plants because solar is such low power.

Big solar projects don't require transmission lines similar to coal plants because solar is such low power.

The facility in the photo is 550 MW. To produce that using fossil fuels would require over 4 million cubic feet of natural gas1 and produce 533,500 pounds of CO22 per hour

1) 7.43 ft^3 natural gas to produce 1 kWh.
2) 0.97 pounds CO2 per kWh for natural gas

... "don't require transmission lines" ... okay ...

This photograph makes me suspect that the transmissions lines are underground.

Or, it's always possible that the photograph was taken before lines were set up. Or that it was photoshopped to remove the lines from the image. But there is no denying that the facility exists, feeds power to the grid and has for several years now.

vegas hasnt set any yet either....the hottest was in 1931....118 degrees....117 so far this year....but every year since i have been here there has always been a stretch of 113 to 116 degree temps for a week or so.....

oh no the pussy abu the farook gave me a thumbs down....

Hottest day on record in Phoenix: 122 degrees (June 26, 1990).

Wow, that was very long ago. 12,085 days ago. Reading the news today, I thought something unheard of was happening in the SouthWest deserts. There is not. Thus far, a record has not been broken.

Yes, we can make up all kinds of headlines, that tell the truth much better.

Phoenix temperatures fail, repeatedly, to break record high temperature set in the USA

Nashville checking in another summer, so far, where we have not gotten to 100, our usual "warm" benchmark....

We've broken several record cold for the date issues too...

Phoenix did not set a new record for its own highest temperature, how would it have set a record for the USA (which I'm fairly certain belongs to Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California.

For those interested, 73,000 days is precisely 200 years.

The highest temperature recorded on Earth has been measured in three major ways: air, ground, and via satellite observation. Air measurements are used as the standard measurement due to persistent issues with unreliable ground and satellite readings. Air measurements are noted by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and Guinness World Records among others as the standard to be used for determining the official record. The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek Ranch, in Death Valley in the United States.[1] For ninety years, a former record that was measured in Libya had been in place, until it was decertified in 2012 based on evidence that it was an erroneous reading. This finding has since raised questions about the legitimacy of the 1913 record measured in Death Valley, with several meteorological experts asserting that there were similar irregularities. The WMO has stood by the record as official pending any future investigative results. If the current record were to be decertified then the holder would be a tie at 54.0 °C (129.2 °F), recorded both at Furnace Creek and in Kuwait.[a]

Several unverified temperatures that exceed the current record have also been recorded. These include historical claims that were never authenticated due to the equipment available at the time and unverified scientific claims. There are also disproven amateur readings that have been posted on social media showing evidence of extreme temperature.

AGWCult Bernie Madoff Accounting: we never surpassed the record set in 1913, therefore we must wipe that reading from the record

No, not a scam at all

Cooler this morning as it is a bit overcast.

Not heating up as fast (as it has).

Still a lot of 110+ in the forecast, but not contiguous.

Down to 55 here in Connecticut. Cold it is, but the only numbers the environuts count, are the above average numbers. As long as they can somehow say it is hot, weather is a valid indicator of climate change. But, if weather disagrees then you can not use today's temperatures.

You can't think of anything better? How about habitat for bugs, birds, turtles, lizards, snakes, cougars, owls, bats, mice, rats, and foxes and such.

I dont like the government using my money to subsidize your rooftop solar.

The facility in the photo can not be compared to natural gas. The facility in the photo will not produce 550 MW, ever!

True fact, very low power, but whatever transmission lines needed to connect that millionaire's, that billionaire's solar project to a city hundreds of miles away. The government will build with my money.

You pay taxes? ... I think that's your problem ... try reading IRS publication 334 ...

Why can it not be compared to natural gas? Because you don't want to compare CO2 emissions? And why do you think it will never produce 550 MW? Evidence? Links?

Why wont it produce 550mw, because that is the nameplate power, not the power with the capacity factor applied.

Why cant we compare Solar to Natural Gas. I guess we could, how about tonight at midnight. You can post the electrical output of the Desert Sunlight solar project for that hour, from midnight to 1am, I will post the same for a natural gas plant.

CO2 emissions? Hard to compare a working Natural Gas plant to a non-working solar plant. And it is even more difficult for you to account for the CO2 it takes to manufacture a solar plant. And then you must agree how many of these you need to build to equal a natural gas plant.

The same comment applies to a natural gas plant, fool.

How about at high noon at some point when your natural gas plant has no fuel due to cost increases or transportation delays or statutory restrictions on CO2 emissions?

I have repeatedly demonstrated the renewable energy technology makes up for the production of CO2 during manufacture in a trivial amount of time. You have YET to demonstrate ANYTHING showing otherwise because you KNOW you cannot and lack the basic honesty to admit it.
