State All-Time Extreme Temperatures

SEARCH BLOG: CLIMATE CHANGE

Recently, I posted about the new state weather extremes webpage on the NOAA network. The focus was on the dropping of two minimum temperature records that were colder than the now recognized minimum.

Below are the changes that I have been able to identify for all of the states:

State Type Month Old Record Year Location New Record Year Location Net Change
Maine Minimum January -48 1925 Van Buren -50 2009 Big Black River -2°
Minnesota Maximum July 114 1936 Moorhead 115 1917 Beardsley +1°
New Hampshire Minimum January -47 1934 Mount Washington -46 1968 Mount Washington +1°
Oklahoma Minimum January -27 1930 Watts -27 1947 Guthrie None
Rhode Island Minimum January -23 1942 Kingston -28 1942 Wood River Junction -5°
Utah Minimum January -69 [Feb] 1985 Peter's Sink -50 1913 Strawberry East +19°
Vermont Maximum July 105 1911 Vernon 107 1912 Vernon +2°
Wyoming Maximum July 114 1988 Whalen Dam 115 1988 Basin +1°

Not too much to get excited about.
