    OMG, here is an example of air temperature rising to 1800 deg F in a fraction of a second:

    If you placed a thermometer at the height of the exhaust flames from a top fuel dragster….

    Yes, I’m being sarcastic. But the point is there are many reasons for a large air temperature increase that have nothing to do with weather. Heat from a fire is just one.

      Iceland reported record temperatures a few years ago for only a few minutes. A jet was turning around for departure and washed the temp site with exhaust. They reported it a real data. You cannot fix stupid.

        As I already wrote somewhere else.

        They use the very same trick manufacturers of trashy speakers use to sell their crap when they claim
        that the speakers have 1000 Watts.
        Technically those speakers may reach a 1000 Watts peak for a 1/10 of a second or so under specific circumstances,
        while in fact those speakers can’t deliver constant 50 Watts without falling apart.

        I wonder how many of those records are result of manipulations,UHI and reflecting windows.

        The British use to do the same apparently, but they also validate these ATH…

        :-)))))

    I remember a report about 100 or so years in a newspaper cutting about some sort of weather phenomenon in California that involved short term very high heat so bad “that birds died on the wing and fell to the ground”
    I’m sure it was on this site somewhere.

    • Charles Higley says:

      More likely the birds lacked oxygen as they few through fire-depleted air. CO2 was higher than now in the 1930s but the following winters hurt the Nazis big time because they were so cold.

      It’s interesting that these heat waves occur during global cooling phases.

      This is all political hype and indicates an agenda.

      It was 70°F at 7:00 am but at 2:00 pm it was 125°F.

    I’ve never heard of heat bursts. just one more thing to worry about. lol. we’ve got the covid, the West Nile virus, tornadoes, floods, plastic particles in our bloodstreams. It’s a cruel world out there. lol

    • Bob G says:

      I should add that I am familiar with this phenomenon when it is caused by a mountain range…but I didn’t know what it was called and I didn’t know that it could get that extremely hot. it is well known that the air coming off a mountain range rushing down to a lower elevation causes warming of 10 or 20 sometimes 30° . happens quite often in Rapid City South Dakota in the winter. To a lesser extreme it happens in Billings Montana. I have relatives there and they call Billings the banana belt of Montana due to that phenomenal caused when the wind is from the West as they are due east of a mountain range 2 miles higher than than Billings elevation. let me add to my earlier post on all the things that can wipe us out. Yellowstone blowing, how about an earthquake. they don’t just happen in San Francisco…. I think it’s called the New Madrid fault in Missouri. and then I read somewhere that there have been huge tsunamis that have hit California that might be 500 to 1,000 ft high. they probably only happen once every million years …. which means we could be due. how about a big asteroid hitting us. I don’t think I’m going to sleep tonight. lol. so much that can go wrong ….an increase in CO2 isn’t even in the top 100 concerns ….in my opinion

      I’ve heard of “heat bursts” coming from the Ivanpah solar facility. It made birds burst into flames so often that the staff named them “streamers.”

      Covid never existed as the Covid-19 test was designed in 2014, based on common coronavirus DNA sequences and admitted by Fauci. No human virus has ever been isolated—all are based on antibodies from assumed patients—including HIV. The same is true for all human viruses, even ebola. Tornadoes and floods are not increasing, just hyped like crazy. Oceans are NOT acidifying—NOAA can find nothing. Extreme weather is not increasing—events happen. Plastic particles are minor as they are inert, so? We have lots of other (lead, mercury) things in our bodies, but, remember the dose is the key. We can withstand a lot but the EPA approach that any is too much is patently stupid.

    Texas flood has now killed 109, with about 160 people still missing. it might surpass the death toll of the 1972 Rapid City South Dakota flood which killed 238…. for the exact same cause… a stalled weather system and too many people living in the downstream flood plain… a well known floodplain, 10 teenagers died in the exact same spot in Texas in a 1987 flood. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Black_Hills_flood. mother nature can be a bi tch

    the world climate organisation has declared that the new European ATH is the 48,8°C measured in Siracusa on 11 Aug. 2021 (despite there were wildfires west of the station and wind was from west. The wind can still be seen in Ventusky and wildfires in NASA tool).

    Anyway there are oral reports of 50°C in 1946 in Messina, but of course these are not corroborated.

    🙂

    Heatwave dreams.

    So, last week the 16-day weather forecast of my town predicted 37°C in 11 days. As I have already written above, this is equal to the ATH which was measured in 1985 (pay attention 40 years ago !!!)
    A couple of days later the “heatwave” high was lowered to 33°C. Then the day after raised again to 36°C.

    Well, now it’s raining, temperatures have fallen below 20°C and there’s no sign of any heat wave in the next 16 days. On the contrary, the highest temperature of the next days is predicted around 28°C and then an abrupt fall to 13°C.

    Some climatologist in Germany has for sure dreamed a heat wave, but this will remain only his dream.

    :-)))

    In general the highest temperatures occur in July, then August is yes warm but not so warm

    • Bob G says:

      no record heat, (not even a 90) in central Minnesota so far in this July and the forecast doesn’t show a 90 coming. tomorrow’s high expected to be in the 60s. but rainfall has been ample and the crops are looking great. climate crisis postponed again.
