In 1936, there were 14,793 record maximums and minimums set at all 862 long-term US HCN stations. So far this year there have been only 2,903, and the trend is for a much less extreme climate in the US.
Note : A record is counted only if it is a record for the entire data set, from 1895-2013. If multiple years share the record, they all get counted.
Index of /pub/data/ghcn/daily/hcn/
The data directly contradicts the lies being spread by NOAA and the White House about the US climate.
Below are listed all the stations used in this analysis

1936 featured one of the severest cold periods of the 20th century from mid-January to mid-Februray. Then came the summer from hell.
When the air is exceptionally dry over the continents it heats/cools more efficiently.
This is exactly why there’s going to be early frosts this September across many regions of the Rockies on east, mainly north of 40°N.
I’m not convinced. 80 years ago there was a much shorter historical temperature record. There would be many more records with a short history to compare to. The fact that we’re setting records 80 years later suggests an upward sloping line (assuming the records are skewed to “record highs”, adjusted for UHI effects).
Please Jack, this is a moron free zone. I clearly stated that these are “all-time records set or tied”
Try using your brain before commenting.
Your bullshit would be much more palatable if you weren’t such an asshole Steven Goddard. You are the reason the BS from the right can’t be taken seriously. It’s all from psychos who think they know more than the rest of society. You’re a fraud and an asshole to boot.
You speak for the rest of society? Nice
Do you have difficulty understanding simple temperature data?
Jack
These are all records that ARE STILL RECORDS
– i.e. not records that were set at the time and have since been beaten.
Paul, thank you for the helpful clarification. Goddard is quick with the insults, which I find very off putting. – Jack
I can relate Jack. in my particular case, I find the lies being spread by NOAA and the White House about the US climate along with those that attempt to defend those harmful lies in various blogs very off putting.
Sounds like you conducted a head to head comparison. But I believe there are comparisons such as you have listed even when there were less stations in the past. So, less stations, yet still more records.

“In the midst of a sweltering summer heat wave, the temperature reached a record-high 113 degrees Fahrenheit in Kansas City on August 14, 1936. These high temperatures in the summer of 1936 remain the most extreme in modern North American history. Compounding the problem, virtually no one had air conditioning in their own homes in the 1930s. The consequence was a nationwide death toll of between 4,500 and 5,000 lives lost, making it among the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. For its part, Kansas City merely coped as best as it could.
Refuge from the heat was decidedly hard to come by. Many area residents spent several nights in the cooler areas of Swope Park, the mall of Liberty Memorial, and Penn Valley Park. A popular option in the afternoon and evening was to attend the movies, where many of the theaters were air conditioned. The price was about 10 cents for a matinee and 40 cents for an evening show. Other businesses offered cool sanctuaries, such as the special air conditioned rooms at the Wolferman’s grocery stores, to paying customers. The city’s poorer residents had difficulty affording the ice produced at local factories, which prompted the Salvation Army to raise money for “Penny Ice” to be sold for a penny per pound to the needy. The doctors’ advice, as reported in the local newspapers, was that, “[the] cardinal rule on combating the heat is to forget it, remain detached.”
Former Mayor Illus Davis recalled in 1986 that the heat 50 years before was, “sort of unreal… you just sat around and talked about the heat.” Davis also recounted using wet rags to cool his car’s steering wheel in the afternoon and even his bed at night. Sharing his concern were hundreds of people who frequently called the local weather bureau to inquire about the official temperature. On the hottest day of the heat wave, August 14, they called at a rate of 300 times each hour and overwhelmed the workers who had to answer the phones. At 2 p.m., a fire broke out one half-mile from Swope Park. It was undoubtedly the result of the extended drought and heat, but fortunately firefighters were able to contain it.
The hottest day in Kansas City history played one last cruel trick just after 4 p.m., when a thunderstorm brewed in the sky, bringing the hope of a cooling rain. Instead, the clouds produced lightening, a trace amount of rainfall, and a modest drop in temperature to a still-toasty 96 degrees. On the following day, temperatures returned to an excess of 100 degrees. The local heat wave was only half over. In all, there were 16 straight days of 100 degree temperatures that August and a total of 53 non-consecutive 100 degree days that summer.”

For people having a hard time understanding this. Steven listed about 800 weather stations and there are 365 days in a year and each day has a high record and a low record. That gives about 584,000 possible records for all days of the year at all stations listed. If you look at the graph, aproximatly 5000 records are set each year on average (the average hight of a typical bar in the bar chart over the years) and the chart goes from 1895 to 2012, thats 118 years. So the chart is showing about 118 X 5000 = 590,000 records… they are a rough match, 584,000 ~= 590,000. We are talking about 590,000 all time high and low records for about 800 stations.
