On this date 80 years ago, Fort Yates, North Dakota reached 119 degrees.
During 1936, temperatures reached over 110F across almost half of the US, including California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky and Virginia.
Almost the entire country was over 100F during 1936.
A heatwave like this is inconceivable now, and shows how absurd NOAA’s US Climate Extremes Index (CEI) is. The EPA graph below based on NOAA’s CEI, is straight out of fantasy land. It shows that the areal coverage of unusually hot summer weather has been increasing and is now at record levels.

The actual measured NOAA data shows the exact opposite. The areal coverage of hot summer weather has plummeted. The NOAA CEI is completely fraudulent.
It appears that all federal government agencies controlled by Obama are now wildly corrupt.
