Oklahoma's record-breaking heat wave made July the hottest month on record in the state.

According to data from the Oklahoma Mesonet, the average temperature in Oklahoma in July was 89.1 degrees, breaking the previous record of 88.1 degrees set in July 1954, said Gary McManus, associate climatologist at the Oklahoma Climatological Survey in Norman.

Records have been kept of statewide averages since 1895.

Your quote with no link says "Last updated August 2006"

yup, I noticed that too. thats why I copied it. the USAToday post seems to link to the actual govt data table though otherwise it wouldnt have a 2011 listing.

my main point is that most of the records werent set recently.

That is intellectual dishonesty.

What is your measuring stick? a fucking hockey stick?

Do you have any idea how inaccurate weather records are?

It could be 97 and 10 miles away it could be 105 and at the "official" weather station 40 miles away it could be 103.

If the official record is 104 the record was not "officially" broken now was it - despite being 105 30 miles away.

The climate data is a) massively flawed and b) is skewed by asshats with agendas.

Well, for the flap yaps, here is where you can search for your record cooling last winter;

HAMweather Climate Center - Record Events for The Past Week - Continental US View

Now, while one year is not indictutive of a trend, when that year includes a record La Nina, and a low TSI, yet there are all kinds of record temps being set, not just in the USA, but worldwide, that is indictutive that something has changed. The combination of a record La Nina, and a low TSI should have created a very cold winter, and a cool summer for most of the world. It has not. Even by Dr. Spencer's charts, this was a warm winter.

UAH Global Temperature Update July, 2011: +0.37 deg. C « Roy Spencer, Ph. D.

And the anamoly for July was nearly equal to the high averages for 1998 and 2010. And then there are the freighters that are presently plying the Northeast Passage without icebreakers. That did not happen at all prior to 2000, let alone for a two month period. And within a week, the major route for the Northwest Passage will be open for business. A minor one is already ice free.

Chris is correct, given the factors, this summers record temperatures, here and abroad, are significant.

 

[Mad Scientist]

We should give all our money to Algore, that'll stop GW!

 

[Big Fitz]

Remember, folks:

One month of cold temperatures in the winter does not disprove global warming.

But one month of hot temperatures in the summer proves it.

He doesn't believe he has enough threads laughing at him.

 

[Oddball]

Why is it that record high temperatures in the US means global climate change, but record snowfalls in the US are only local weather events?

Actually record snowfalls are the result of higher humidity caused by global warming.

The temperature of the oceans is at a record high, and this creates more humidity.

Thanks for bringing that up.

You are so full of shit!

1936 North American heat wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

July was the peak month, in which temperatures reached all-time record levels—many of which still stand as of 2010. In Steele, North Dakota, temperatures reached 121 °F (49 °C), which remains North Dakota's record. In Ohio, temperatures reached 110 °F (43 °C), which nearly tied the previous record set in 1934. The states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and New Jersey also experienced record highs temperatures. The provinces of Ontario and Manitoba set still-standing record highs above 110 °F (43 °C). Chicago Midway airport recorded 100 °F (38 °C) or higher temperatures on 12 consecutive days from July 6–17, 1936. Later that summer in downstate Illinois, at Mount Vernon the temperature surpassed 100 °F (38 °C) for 18 days running from August 12–29, 1936.[1]
Some stations in the American Midwest reported minimum temperatures at or above 90 °F (32 °C) such as 91 °F (33 °C) at Lincoln, Nebraska on 25 July 1936; the next and most recent time this is known to have happened is a handful of 90 °F (32 °C) maxima during a similar heat wave in late June 1988 but far less intense than that of 1936.​
