NOAA shows that summer 2012 had the second hottest afternoons in US history, just behind 1936.
U.S. Climate Extremes Index (CEI) | Extremes | National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)
This is complete nonsense. The graph below plots the average summer maximum temperature at all US HCN stations which have been continuously operative since at least 1930. Summer, 2012 wasn’t in the top five, and was more than two degrees cooler than 1936.
As far as number of hot days go, summer 2012 didn’t even rank in the top ten for number of 95 degree temperature readings.

How does NOAA get away with publishing blatantly inaccurate information like this?

I don’t know what they did, but their graph is weird. They go back to 1910 for one thing. Another is that 2009 is one of many years that have both a red and a blue component. The 2012 bar is only red. It is like they are suggesting that for all stations that have been continuously running since 1910 in the contiguous USA, 2012 had no days that were ‘much below normal.’They let you download the warm and cold data separately. They have 2012 0.002 and 2009 0.250. They also provide a link to download the CEI data files. Too bad the CEI site is so slow. And what do I do with it all? There are several 06-08 step 1 data sets.
They are making me download them one at a time?
I have to go walk the dog before work.

If you go the the link and check warm season (April-September) instead of summer (June-Aug) 2012 goes from 2nd warmest to first warmest.
2012 wasn’t especially warm here. Not at all. Was it warm where you are?
Nope,… I live in So. Cal and it wasn’t especially warm here… Until NOAA adjusted the data and excluded inconvenient data so 2012 suddenly became… Hot…
What’s hot is how NOAA stole real history in favor of an agenda.
I live in coastal South Carolina. The summer of 2012 was an average, normal SC summer here.
Upstate NY here, Adirondacks. It got hot a few days but not memorable.
In Yuma, Arizona, the high temps have been moderating for a decade in the summer. The growing season has been extended because of the fall off of highs. Even Roma tomatoes don’t survive at 110+ for very long.
Warmistas now have to point to Richard Muller’s rarely referenced hockey stick global average that is itself falsified by long running records within it, that he sliced and diced then put Humpty back together again, since even the NOAA’s own Climate.gov web site can be used to show recent climate fluctuation has near perfect precedence along the same overall linear trendline:

Climate Fraud in Australia. CSIRO has catastrophists all through it.

Summer 2012 in most of the eastern and central US was quite hot in late June and most of July. However, unlike the 1930’s summers. August was close to normal. So it was not as hot as the 1930’s overall.
July 2012 was almost a full degree cooler than 1901, and cooler than 1934 and 1936.
Here in Knoxville, we had a very mild summer. I know it didn’t get to 100 and I’m almost positive we only had a couple of 90+ days if any. NOAA is such a fraud. Those that be remind me of the global warming protests that are cancelled because of cold/snowy conditions.
