NOAA July 2015 – USA Maximum – July Was Cold

Published on August 14, 2015 by sunshinehours13 Comments

These are the NOAA rankings by state for maximum temperatures for July 2015.

A rankingof 121 would be the highest. 1 would be the lowest.

Nevada was ranked 7th. That means only 6 July’s in Nevada were colder.

All those blue and white states had a pretty cold July.

According to the NOAA, 2014 precipitation in California was -2.46″ below the 1901-2000 average.

That is Only 11%. What Megadrought? (The real problem is a doubling of population and no big dams built since 1982).

USA Temperatures – Shrinking Population = Cooler / Growing Population = Warmer

Published on March 21, 2015 by sunshinehours13 Comments

A couple of years ago I posted an article about waste heat.

“The waste heat generated by car engines, power plants, home furnaces and other fossil fuel-burning machinery plays an unappreciated role in influencing regional climates, new computer simulations suggest. By altering atmospheric circulation, human-made heat may raise temperatures by as much as 1 degree Celsius during winter in the northernmost parts of the world.”

Compare this map of CRN temperature changes from a WUWT article to the population growth map.

A large part of the US is shrinking population-wise and that part of the USA is cooling.

The list is just the ones I could capture in a screenshot. Wow. Many records broken by over 20F.

Imagine … the old record was 51F and it is now 23F. A 28F difference.

Some of the records broken were over 100 years old.
