The following table lists the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 inhabited U.S. territories during the past two centuries, in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. [1] If two dates have the same temperature record (e.g. record low of 40 °F or 4.4 °C in 1911 in Aibonito and 1966 in San ...
The all-time record high for Sacramento, California, is 113 F, set on July 14, 1972. High temperatures are projected to peak within a few degrees of 110 degrees multiple times this week. Local ...
The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded may have been an alleged reading of 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, California, United States, on 15 July 1972. [7] In 2011, a ground temperature of 84 °C (183.2 °F) was recorded in Port Sudan, Sudan. [8] The theoretical maximum possible ground surface temperature has been ...
The peak of heat burst conditions is the maximum observed temperature. The beginning of a heat burst is the time during which the air temperature increases without decreasing until after the peak; the end of a heat burst is when the system ceases to affect the temperature and dew point of the area.
Starting Thursday, the daytime high temperature will be near 93 degrees with a low around 59 degrees. Friday will be sunny and hot with a high near 101 degrees and a low around 60.
Within two minutes, a heat burst reportedly drove the air temperature from 38 °C (100 °F) to 70 °C (158 °F). 1960: 60 °C (140 °F) Air Kopperl, Texas (United States) A heat burst is claimed to have sent the air temperature to near 140 °F (60 °C), supposedly causing cotton crops to become desiccated and drying out vegetation.
The atmosphere has a mass of about 5.15 × 10 18 kg, [4] three quarters of which is within about 11 km (6.8 mi; 36,000 ft) of the surface. The atmosphere becomes thinner with increasing altitude, with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. The Kármán line, at 100 km (62 mi) or 1.57% of Earth's radius, is often used as ...
Evolution of land and sea temperatures 1880-2020 compared to the 1951-1980 average. The two degree target is the international climate policy goal of limiting global warming to less than two degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrialization levels (1850–1900). It is an integral part of the Paris climate agreement. [1]
