They claim that July, 2011 was the hottest month ever in Oklahoma City at 89F average temperature.
The closest USHCN station is in Meeker, OK. August 1936 averaged one degree warmer at 90F, and summer temperatures have steadily declined since the 1930s.
As far as high temperatures go, August 1936 was much hotter. This past month averaged 103F for the high – August, 1936 was three degrees warmer at 106F.
Even with UHI, August 1936 was hotter.
lol, Heidi wouldn’t lie to us!!! Would she? I remember a time when the weather channel could be trusted to give us accurate information…… but that was before they got bought out.
I never found them or Accuweather more accurate or reliable than NWS. I do not go to their site any more while I do read about Hurricanes at Accuweather just to see possible tracks.
Come on, we all know that weather wasn’t really weather before the advent of satellites. That’s just folklore.
. . . And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature’s rising,
And any idiot would know that.

Of course, 1936 was before 1950, now officially recognized by NOAA as the beginning of time.
Slightly off-topic.
Did anyone see that idiotic Climate Change special TWC have been running?
With a panel of like three alarmists and ‘moderated’ by some lefty reporterette whose name escapes me. Might have been GW University or something.
Pathetic.
The Weather Channel (TWC) has been infiltrated by its sister stations like NBC and MSNBC. Unbelievable! They are performing a slow motion suicide!
If someone stated a new Weather Channel right now, with prominent advertising that said: ‘We will allow no Climate Change propaganda on our network’, it would take off like a rocket ship.
It would be the most successful startup probably ever!
