Last year we were told that Oklahoma was the hottest place ever recorded in the US. It turns out that the raw USHCN data for Oklahoma shows that it was the fifth coldest year on record, and that record maximums didn’t even … Continue reading →

The mass media hysteria about Texas in 2011 was absurd. Average temperatures didn’t rank in the top ten. The number of record maximums dis not match 1925. Normalized by the number of measurements, record maximums in Texas are in sharp decline.

One year ago today, Andrew Dessler of Texas A&M University declared that Texas was in a permanent drought and heatwave. Get used to it. The weather of the 21st century will be very much like the hot and dry weather of 2011. Giving extra credibility … Continue reading →

Yesterday, after I posted the US temperature record graphs, a number of geniuses started accusing me of calculating incremental records – i.e. during year one, every station sets a record on every day, etc. Just for fun, I did that … Continue reading →

Since 1930, the average of all valid USHCN thermometer data shows a half degree decline in temperatures across the US. But we keep hearing about the high ratio of record maximums to record minimums in the US. Below I will … Continue reading →

Contrary to the nonsense being spouted by the experts, Illinois temperatures have been getting cooler since 1930, with many fewer record temperatures. I changed the algorithm for counting records, so that duplicates get double counted. For example, if an all-time … Continue reading →

The measured temperature data for Virginia shows a significant cooling trend since 1930, with 1953 as  the hottest year. Our friends at USHCN have fixed this inconvenient problem. VIRGINIA Climate Summary  

The thermometer data for Texas shows a cooling trend, which USHCN has hidden. The way they did it was by progressively subtracting larger and larger amounts from older temperature data. The year 1920 had 1.8 degrees subtracted from the average value which … Continue reading →
