It’s also brought some record daytime high temperatures. http://hawaiitribune-herald.com/news/local-news/heat RE: Record Breaking Weather - Valuesize - 01-25-2016 (01-25-2016, 10:34 PM)chuck white Wrote:Quote:As forecast, El Nino has dried out normally rainy Hilo so far in 2016. It’s also brought some record daytime high temperatures. Hawaiians that I meet here in Oregon are most concerned that the trade winds which keep the climate pleasant are no longer the norm. Coincidentally, they are what bring the consistent rains also. HECO is also struggling with the decline of power from their wind turbines. RE: Record Breaking Weather - chuck white - 01-26-2016 ?? How do you wind a turbine?

Good try thoughQuote:Unusually warm Arctic winter stuns scientists with record low ice extent for January RE: Record Breaking Weather - chuck white - 02-08-2016 Quote:Record warmth to start our week! Temperatures will cool back down to near normal by the end of this week, but not tomorrow... Tuesday looks toasty! http://www.actionnewsnow.com/news/record-warmth-monday/ I bet if you go back a billion years ago, you would have found it hotter. RE: Record Breaking Weather - chuck white - 02-08-2016 I was right, this is the global temperature for the last billion years Looks like oregunlover was right, just go back 3 million years ago and it was hotter. He would have been a monkeys then.

Anyway Medford broke the high temp yesterday at 79 which was WAY over the old record of 70. If I didn't know better I would thing there is something relatively new heating the earths atmosphere.

Quote:Monday a host of other cities broke new one-day warmth records. Forks hit 70 degrees yesterday, which shattered the old record of 61 set back 46 years ago in 1970. It was the only city in Washington State to break a heat record. Another Northwest city that shattered its high temp by 9 degrees was Medford, Oregon. The Monday high in Oregon’s Rogue Valley was a summer-like 79 degrees. Other Oregon cities breaking or tying records: Redmond (67), McMinnville (66), Salem (65), and Hillsboro (64 tie). http://q13fox.com/2016/02/09/february-warmth-setting-nw-records/ RE: Record Breaking Weather - chuck white - 02-12-2016 Quote:Warm temperatures in the Arctic region have resulted in the lowest amount of sea ice in the month of January since satellite technology began recording the levels, according to a discovery.com story. http://www.babwnews.com/2016/02/warming-temps-drop-arctic-sea-ice-to-record-low-levels/ RE: Record Breaking Weather - chuck white - 02-13-2016 Quote:The new year has brought record rainfall, and the excess groundwater is creating significant challenges for many residents living close to Lake Okeechobee and its nearby watersheds. http://www.tcpalm.com/opinion/guest-columns/south-florida-farmers-are-balancing-economic-environmental-concerns-during-record-rainfall-2b6b22cc--368397471.html RE: Record Breaking Weather - chuck white - 03-03-2016 Quote:Earth's temperature soared to a record high last month, a whopping 1.5 degrees above average as measured by weather satellites. http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2016/03/02/february-record-warm-month-satellite-data/81205154/ RE: Record Breaking Weather - Cuzz - 03-03-2016 (03-03-2016, 04:50 AM)chuck white Wrote:Quote:Earth's temperature soared to a record high last month, a whopping 1.5 degrees above average as measured by weather satellites.

Only five countries use Fahrenheit to measure climate temperatures and most of them do very little (if any) climate science. The U.S. should joint the rest of the world in using standard scientific terms and standards. We came close in the 70's to adopting the metric system of measurement and pulled back. Yes: Measured in Centigrade. Still... Guess it doesn't take a rocket scientist to translate terms. But why do we bother doing it? And we move even closer to the absolute fact that our climate is changing and that "mankind" has a significant influence in that change. Time to remove this from "Political" debate and allow the science to guide our decisions. Note that the good state of Oregon is suggesting we use less coal to fire our power plants. Good news, and now the state(s) have some responsibility in finding ways to provide jobs and training for those displaced by these changes.

Good question. I looked into it and they report 0.83C which means the 1.5° is F. |
