“FOR the seventh consecutive day and for the 31st time ‘in 30 years, 10 of which have been within the past 20 days, the thermometer here soared above 100 degrees Wednesday as Birmingham’s record heat wave continued without a letup

At 11:45 this. morning; the Weather Bureau thermometer at Fountain Heights read 102 degrees, but a passing cloud caused it to drop back to 101 at noon, At 12:30, It had risen to 103, but by 1 p. m. it had slipped back to 101, Indications were that the temperature would go higher during the day, and possibly equal the record of 106 degrees, set during the present wave.

Yesterday’s high mark was 105 degrees, reached between 2 and 3 p.m,

The blistering heat and accompanying drouth is causing great damage to crops in this section.

Terrific hail storm in the neighborhood of Calera caused still further damage late Monday.”

Arizona’s most intense heatwave occurred during early July 1905, and California was nearly as hot.

December 26 Arctic sea ice extent was the highest in twenty years, and Antarctic sea ice extent is higher than 1979, 1982 and 1996.

At the current rate of decline, the Arctic will be ice-free around the year 3549, when Al Gore is 1,601 years old.

Damien lives near Canberra and says the climate there is similar to Wyoming.

On March 20, 1907 California was flooded and it was 102 degrees in Oklahoma.

The person in charge at the Icelandic Met Office said in 2012 : The GHCN “corrections” are grossly in error in the case of Reykjavik.

Hi Paul.We have sent a questions to the GHCN database regarding this and they will look into the problem. Regarding your questions:

a) Were the Iceland Met Office aware that these adjustments are being made?No we were not aware of this.

b) Has the Met Office been advised of the reasons for them?No, but we are asking for the reasons

c) Does the Met Office accept that their own temperature data is in error, and that the corrections applied byGHCN are both valid and of the correct value? If so, why?

The GHCN “corrections” are grossly in error in the case of Reykjavik but not quite as bad for the other stations. But we will have a better look. We do not accept these “corrections”.

d) Does the Met Office intend to modify their own temperature records in line with GHCN?No.

No changes have been made in the Stykkisholmur series since about 1970, the Reykjavík and Akureyri series that I sent you have been slightly adjusted for major relocations and changes in observing hours. Because of the observing hour changes, values that where published before 1924 in Reykjavík and before 1928 in Akureyri  are not compatible with the later calculation practices. For other stations in Iceland values published before 1956 are incompatible with later values except at stations that observed 8 times per day (but the differences are usually small). The linked paper outlines these problems (in English):
