According to Jason Samenow at the Washington Post, which string of temperatures is the worse heat wave?
2012
or 1930?
July 19 102 July 20 106 July 21 103 July 22 100 July 23 94 July 24 93 July 25 100 July 26 100 August 3 100 August 4 102 August 5 102 August 6 88 August 7 97 August 8 104 August 9 102
1930 was much hotter than 2012, but using Samenow lies, damned lies, and statistics, 2012 is hotter.
