Like the day before, there was almost no change in Arctic sea ice extent yesterday.

Nevertheless, at current volume melt rates, the Arctic will be ice-free on December 7, 2018 at 3:41 PM.

Summer is over at the North Pole.

And nothing but cold in the forecast.
During the week of July 19-25, 1915, afternoon temperatures at Yosemite National Park headquarters were over 110 degrees every day, averaged 112 degrees, and peaked at 115 degrees on July 20.
The only other year when Yosemite reached 110 degrees was a year earlier in 1914 – and in 1913, Death Valley, CA set the world’s record temperature of 134 degrees.
California was very hot when CO2 levels were low, but that certainly doesn’t stop climate scientists from lying about the non-existent relationship between heatwaves and atmospheric CO2.
I have hesitated to discuss California temperatures until I had tools in place to analyze it properly, and I do now. NOAA shows maximum temperatures in California rising rapidly, and particularly a big jump after 2012.

The actual average maximum thermometer data shows no net change over the past century prior to 2012, but a big jump over the past six years. (I excluded Death Valley from this analysis, because they started reporting in the 1960’s and cause a fake long term warming bias on the right side of the graph.)
However, something is seriously wrong. There are 53 USHCN stations in California, and only nine show warming since 2012, but thirty-one stations show cooling since 2012. Whatever is causing the post-2012 spike is not real. It must be something along the lines of cooler stations not reporting as many days as the warmer stations. I haven’t figured it out yet, but am quite certain that whatever is causing the recent spike in temperature is a data artifact.
Additionally, there are quite a few California stations which show long term cooling in their afternoon temperatures.
I no longer see any reason to believe California is warming.
The Berkeley Earth lead “scientist” didn’t like me using actual data, so he blocked me.

On this date in 1936, the average maximum temperature in the US was 93 degrees, and two thirds of the US was over 90 degrees. Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma were all over 110 degrees.
August 16 afternoon temperatures have plummeted in the US over the past century.
This date in 1937 and 1988 also brought tremendous heatwaves.
Germany is a little larger than Missouri and Arkansas combined, and has a fairly coherent long term temperature record at 13 stations.
There has been a warming trend in Germany since 1980.
This can’t be explained by UHI, HOHENPEISSENBERG is a rural station at 3,100 feet elevation, and MUENCHEN is an urban station at 1,700 feet elevation.
Munich is warmer, but the two stations track each other very closely.
A typical July afternoon in overheated southern Germany is 71 degrees.
These two stations have warmed considerably since 1980, and I don’t see any reason to think the trend isn’t real.
