January/February, 1878 may have also been the hottest on record in Southeast Australia.

11 Jan 1878 – THE EXCESSIVE HEAT. – Trove

There was something going on in early 1878 which was making the world hot, and it wasn’t CO2. NASA used to know that it was warm in 1878, so they did what they normally do – they decided to hide the warmth prior to 1880.

Spreadsheet     Data

Even in their 2000 version of the data, NASA showed the record warmth of 1878 about the same temperature as the ice age scare of the 1970s.  But then again, climate science has nothing to do with rational thinking or science.

Climate alarmists use children like Greta Thunberg for propaganda purposes.  They couldn’t care less about the well being of children.

I was looking at the entire temperature record for Australia this morning, and noticed two very hot temperatures in 2019.

NOAA reports 123F at Warra, Tasmania on January 30, 60F on January 31, and 124F on February 1.

Warra is located in the southern mountains of Tasmania 43 degrees south and 1,636 feet elevation. The average maximum temperature for January/February was 70F including the two bogus hot readings, or 68F without them.

A little official government comedy to start the day.

Bourke, NSW is one of less than a dozen stations in Australia with a good long term daily temperature record in the GHCN database. Bourke reached 120F three times from 1878 to 1906, and never got that hot again. Maximum temperatures declined from 1878 until the mid-1970s, and have risen since then.

The last three summers have been almost as hot as 1878 and 1892.

Two of the worst heatwaves occurred in 1896 and 1878. In 1896, the January average maximum temperature was 110F.

The New York Times described it as the worst heatwave on record.

TimesMachine: August 18, 1896

India also was reported to reach 123 degrees in January, 1896.

08 Jan 1896 – HOT WEATHER. – Trove

During the Northern Hemisphere summer of 1896, there was a tremendous heatwave in Europe.

18 Jul 1896 – Great Heat in Europe. – Trove

Another major heatwave occurred in January, 1878 when Bourke had eighteen days over 110F, and two days over 120F.

I knew that 1913 was bad, but I had no idea how bad it was before this evening. Record heat, floods and tornadoes wreaked devastation across the US. It would require an entire book to document it. So I am going to list a few things in no particular order. This web page has an excellent compilation.

The world’s record temperature of 134F was set in California on July 10, 1913.

From August 1 to September 7, 1913 Nebraska was over 100 degrees every day but one.

On this date in 1913, it was 111 degrees in Nebraska.

Omaha was devastated by a tornado earlier in the year.

Easter Sunday brought tornadoes from coast to coast.

The worst flooding in Ohio history also occurred in 1913.

Kansas had their “worst drought in history”

18 Aug 1913 – DROUGHT IN KANSAS. – Trove

As did the worst flooding in Texas history. This picture was taken near where I bought my first house – in Richmond, Texas. The flood crest was 56 feet on December 11, 1913.

Experts say it is the hottest year ever.

On August 28, 1948, every state was over 90 degrees, and 68% of USHCN stations were over 90 degrees. Twenty-three states were over 100 degrees. Heat like that is incomprehensible now, and if it did happen – climate experts would declare 97% certainly that it couldn’t have happened at the low CO2 levels of 1948.

This may turn out to be the shortest melt season on record.
