NOAA August 2012 State Rankings Coldest to Warmest

For Example, Aug 2012 averaged 78.3F In Alabama, it was the 25th warmest (which means  93 were warmer!), The warmest August in Alabama was 84.6F in 2007.

Only Nevada set a record for warmest August. The south east was awfully cold for August. Well below average.

HADCRUT3 Gridded Last 15 years – Some Data is Missing

Published on by sunshinehours11 Comment

My first look at the gridded data ended up with a Big Red Star. This post looks at how much data there is over the last 15 years counting back from June 2012 (the most recent gridded data).

For grids with temperature stations there should be 180 data points (15 years x 12 months).

I found 2,315 grid cells with data out of a possible 2,592. 731 of those grid cells have a 180 data points. 1,132 grid cells have 170 or more data points.

I calculated the trend for each gridcell.

I’ve used RGoogleMaps before to map spatial data, so here is a map of the world with the count of data points centered in each grid cell. You might want to click on it and zoom in. Cells with a cooling trend are in blue, warming cells are colored red. 1253 cells are warming, 1058 are cooling and 4 have a trend of 0.

There are a lot of cells without much data.

BEST – USA – where is the current 5 year period ranked in terms of TMAX

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

A continuation of the series on BEST’s TMAX data for USA states and the CONUS and the whole USA.

The most recent 5 years of BEST TMAX data is ranked #6 for the CONUS and #4 for all states. Notice the periods warmer like 51-56 and 31-36. Notice that the current period in .31C colder than the warmest period.

contiguous-united-states – #6

5 1931 – 1936 0.46
6 2006 – 2011 0.33
7 1936 – 1941 0.24

Notice how few #1’s there are in the rest of the list.

I think Muller’s own data demolishes his silly CO2 theory.

Continuing from last post. Looking at BESTs TMAX data state by state I noticed that the last 5 years temperatures had fallen off a cliff. Cold!

BEST – July 29, 2012 release = TMAX 5 year mean colder than late 20s / early 40s

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

BEST did a new release today (July 29, 2012).  As I’ve been doing with other data sets, I am graphing all the monthly anomalies and calculating the 5 year mean backwards from the most recent month (November 2011 for BEST).

BEST says the most recent 5 year period TMAX in the USA is .5C colder than the previous 5 year period and colder than the 10 period starting around 1933 and extending into the early 1940s. And also colder than the mid 1950s and around 1990. 

Even more interesting, the most current 5 year period is only .57C warmer than the earliest 5 year period in the 1840s.

5 year means in blue boxes on the graph. The value is the departure from the Jan 1951-Dec 1980 average. Data here.

(And thanks to Anthony , this BEST data may be exaggerating the small amount of warming they found).

How cold is the 48 States for each month compared to the record temperature – NOAA data #2

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

This post is identical to the previous post, but it has the age of the record. 0/0 means current record.

92/-13.6 means the record was 92 years old and October 2011 in Alabama was -13.6F colder than the 1919 record.

Using NOAA data (mean temperature), how cold are the last 12 months (Jul 2011 to Jun 2012) compared to the warmest month.

For example, October 2011 in Alabama was -13.6F colder than the warmest October in Alabama– 1919

October 1919 was 74.0F

October 2011 was 60.4F

Current Temperature minus Record Temperature

If the value is 0 / 0  the record for the mean temperature was set in the current month.
