We are getting “way cold” temperatures from places all over the planet and if the trend continues it is “not good”… and there is every indication that the trend is continuing.Įveryone is wishing and hoping that it’s just cool enough to spike AGW as a thesis. It is not happening fast, but it is happening.
Lowest recordee temperatures in florida full#
While I agree that the temperature recording and reporting system is full of failures, and it IS an interesting question what they will do with the obviously wrong low in Florida, given the history… The fact is that there is something big forming. We’ve lost 2 months from the middle of summer… As spring came a month late, fall is arriving a month early.
IMHO, this is the “mid August” cool snap with a bit of rain… it’s just a month early. Welcome to live under The Big Blue Blob here on the West Coast of North America … and it isn’t an ASOS failure… July 11 is “supposed” to be 90 something with a chance of a sporadic 100 F maybe dropping to a comfortable 80 something at night with a hope of the occasional 70 something at 2 am so you can cool off enough to sleep. One Small Problem: It’s the middle of Summer. It did turn back into overcast at the end of the day and now, at a little after 11 pm we’re back to 59F on the patio and headed lower into the night. Never got too hot (I’d guess it was about 78 F max). It didn’t rain and the clouds turned to scattered cloud late in the afternoon. In 25 years or so I can remember exactly one halloween where we were rained out (and another where sprinkles ended “Just In Time” for the kids to trick-or-treat… So this fit the mold of a wonderful fall day. Typically followed by an “indian summer” until Halloween.
Now, there are 2 weeks in mid August where we rarely, but sometimes, have a bit of rain. It started off a bit cold at 55F on the patio at 8am, but by noon was warmer. Today was a beautiful fall day here in Silicon Valley, California. However there’s something still not quite right as it is now apparently snowing at 9:53 AM in Key West.Ī man with one watch knows what time it is. UPDATE: Either the sensor has started working again on its own, or has been repaired. Here is the URL to watch for yourself to see when NOAA fixes the problem:Ī big WUWT hat tip to Corky Boyd for this one. The other question is: How long will it take them to detect and fix this ASOS station? As of midnight on it was still reporting -13F To be consistent with the Honolulu decision they would naturally keep it, though in both cases, logic dictates the data should be thrown out. Will NOAA keep this new “record low” which like the Honolulu record highs a fault of a ASOS equipment failure? Or, will they throw it out? So now the question is, we have another obvious malfunction, but in the opposite direction. Graph of PHNL and PTWC station data for June 2009 – click for larger image I did an analysis at the time comparing PHNL to another COOP station just four miles away. Those records still stand for Honolulu despite protest even though it was clear that fixing the ASOS sensor dropped the temperature dramatically and immediately. Key West airport ASOS with maintenance technician at ready - click for image galleryĮarly in June, there was an incident in Honolulu International Airport where the ASOS station there malfunctioned and it set a string of new high temperature records for Honolulu. It was recently surveyed on and was the last USHCN station surveyed in Florida to complete the USHCN state survey. Here is what our offending ASOS in Key West looks like. But, there’s an interesting twist here that will provide a useful test of the integrity of data handling policy within NOAA/NWS. OK fun aside, this is obviously another ASOS thermohygrometer malfunction, but one in the opposite direction that we usually see. Actually the new record low was colder than that shown above. That windchill is vicious, be sure to dress warmly going outside at Key West.
