Tectonic?
San Andreas has been extremely active in CA over the past few days. Oh boy!
Are these ‘adjusted’ old time records? Unless proven otherwise by newspaper records, such as Tony Heller does, I would assume that to be the case.
sailboarder – have you not tried
to understand why the adjustments
are necessary?
Yeah, without adjustments and infill, the narrative falls apart.
Tom – so I take it you _haven’t_ tried
to understand why and how the
adjustments are done.
that’s too bad. sticking your head in
the sand never solves anything.
by the way, you realize, i hope, that
adjustment _lower_ the warming
trend.
so we can keep it higher, as you’re prefer.
I bet that put a drain on their renewable energy.
Caused by the same Australian coal miners who killed all the polar bears on the Great Barrier Reef
Excellent remark. I will have to use it!
co2 is a well-mixed
greenhouse gas.
as they say.

Records are meant to be broken. Just a matter of time.
Yes, but all things being even you would expect to see as many cold as hot records broken over time.
They have been, but this Site has not published them.
Try IceAgeNow instead if you want see dozens of them all over the world.
Cold Temps.
Earlier than normal Snow.
Deeper than usual Snow.
DWR54: “all things being even” is difficult to establish with changing measurement methods over time and changing site environment over time. Ideally to establish possible regional changes in climate we need sites like those in the US Climate Reference Network, but with periods of record of 100 years or more. Stations with periods of record less than 30 years are unsuitable for the task. Detailed documentation of the site environment over time is also critical to establish whether there might be effects from localized changes, most commonly from nearby urbanization, but also from very localized influences, such as buildings, pavement, and trees. I have not seen a study where these considerations were taken into account. If you know of one, please provide a link.
DWR54: Things are rarely even in reality. And why would one expect as many cold records to be broken? Is there some reason it must get colder as it gets warmer? Nothing says nature has to “average out” and all highs are match by lows. Only statistics and dreamers say that.
lol DW, cold records get smashed all the time. SInce 2010 10s of thousands have fallen
A C Osborn “They have been, but this Site has not published them.”
love to see
those data.
So, big deal, nobody else in North America is enjoying these nice hot temps…come to think of it, send some heat this way, it’s only 30F here in Niagara Falls, with a 10mph wind – ie colder than your fridge
Huh….. it really is becoming more like Mexico.
California has become Mexico.
even the inhabitants. 🙂
Meanwhile…
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Wyoming to open Friday after historic snowfall
http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/wyoming/jackson-hole-mountain-resort-in-wyoming-to-open-friday-after/article_1ce4643d-26f7-5333-860c-5632e1b3bdb5.html
Anyone ever wonder how mini-Ice Ages start?
Gotta get away from the SoCal heat?
Wonder if your LA kids will ever know what snow is?
Delta has LAX to JAC (Jackson Hole, WY) R/T fares at $350 right now.
Google it or Expedia it.
Snow is available closer to LAX than that. Skiable, not so sure.
SW recently had $27 flights to Denver, CO.
Gov Moonbeam would ask that you buy Carbon offsets for those bourgeoisie indulgences.
Make your check payable to: Cal State General Fund.
FWIW, several Vermont ski areas are open (on man-made snow). A World-Cup downhill race is scheduled at Killington Saturday. Here’s a link to a site that shows average and current natural snow depth atop Mt Mansfield. — about 10 inches (25cm). Right about the 60 year average. http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l//depths.html. Here’s another that shows the variability more clearly http://www.matthewparrilla.com/mansfield-stake/
Looks like a more or less “normal” Winter so far.
Yes, but I doubt if a ski resort opening one day earlier than planned has much to do with it
Aspen and probably other Colorado ski resorts are open for business.
Yet it’s 63 degrees F in Casper, Wyoming, right now. That’s 23 degrees warmer than Jackson. Our ski area won’t open until ??? No snow, little cold for the last week. No mini-Ice age in this part of the state.
We will gladly trade our weather for California’s weather.
-Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Alaska.
Not forgetting the UK. It’s 32F (0 C) where I am right now.
Odd. It’s 12C here in SE England
If CET is anything to go by, UK temperatures have been above average in November so far and 2017 overall looks set to join the top 10 or maybe top 5 warmest years in that long record: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/cet_info_mean.html
DWR54: Thanks very much for that link to CET anomalies. I do follow CET but I wasn’t aware of that one.
It annoys me that they still use 1961-1990 as the reference period, because we want to know whether our region, this sceptred isle, is continuing to warm, not whether it has warmed, so 1981-2010 is more appropriate. Also I prefer to track maximum rather than mean temperatures, because if minima warmed but maxima didn’t, it wouldn’t be such a huge problem.
So here, in R friendly form, are the data from your link:
c(0.1, 2.3, 3.0, 1.0, 2.1, 1.9, 0.7, -0.2, -0.1, 1.7, 1.2, NA)
And here, from my own calculations, are the maxima anomalies relative to 1981-2010:
c( -0.3, 1.3, 2.3, 0.7, 1.8, 1.6, 0.0, -1.0, -0.7, 1.3, NA, NA)
This makes the poor August and September rather clearer, but yes, 2017 will end in the top 10 years and possibly top 5.
Hope this is of interest,
Rich.
@MattS – Many of you are already here in Yuma, AZ, where the highs are in the mid 80’s. Nothing new there. Next week highs will be in the mid 70’s. Nothing new there either. Strange it is cooler here in the desert than in L.A. Karma maybe?
Weather.
It’s called Adiabatic warming. The air mass moving from the high desert to the beach warms 5.5F/1,000 feet. An east wind moving from Apple Valley to LA can easily warm up 16F.
MattS commented –
“We will gladly trade our weather for California’s weather.
“Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Alaska.”
so move there, instead of expecting
us to heat up the whole entire world
just to make you happy.
98f at my location in Norco today. Hottest temps I’ve ever hung Xmas lights in. It didn’t seem too bad though because a nice breeze was blowing throughout the day. I turned on the home A/C too. These temps will be a distant memory in a few days as on-shore flow returns to SoCal.
If you adjust for the Urban Heat Island Effect, according to our EPA (under Obama) you’ll need to add 4-6 degrees F to what ever temp we reach tomorrow, in Los Angeles, in order to tie the 90 degree mark set back in 1903 [long before any UHIE or AGW].
The UHIE is indeed man-made warming, but it’s only local – it is not man-made global warming.

I should have read your post before posting. Either way UHI sticks out like a sore thumb!
Oh, look! It’s getting warmer!
Not like that hasn’t been happening for the past 10,000 years. Must be those hairless apes. They’re behind everything bad.
“Not like that hasn’t been happening for the past 10,000 years.”
when?
Awesome! Turn up that heat!! 🔥🌞🌴🌵
move towards the equator.
problem solved.
eh?
It is also very warm in Melbourne and Hobart, Australia. So it must be global warming, regardless of it being bloody cold in Russia, Northern China, Japan, Berring Sea, Scandinavia, etc, etc, etc, etc.
The CO2 horsesh*t has to stop.
It looks like all the LA urban areas and Death Valley are hot. Owens Lake is cool and the Mojave Desert is about 20 degrees cooler than LA. Therefore there is UHI mixed in with local weather?

Maybe if there was a large amount of surface water all over the state to evaporate in response to the sudden increase in heat by BLOCKING IT FROM REACHING THE GROUND then this wouldn’t have been as high?
Most surface temperature increases can be explained by lack of soil moisture due to drainage, pumping and bad culture practices.
If only Trump had supported the Paris Climate Accord.
If only people would listen to Prince Charles.
If only there were more windmills and nukes.
If only …… people could read and comprehend as well as they can emote.
I’m not in Cali but still in the Western US. After a very cold last few weeks we saw high day time temperatures at or close to records set in the 1920s the last two or three days. However, this does not apply to the overnight lows overall this Fall. The night times temps here have been low, usually below freezing, since the last week of Sept. Right now my thermometer is reading 25 degrees F and there is a heavy layer of frost on the car’s windshield.
I live in Northern California. Night time temps rose around 14 degrees F with the change in surface winds off of the coast moving northward. …http://www.intellicast.com/Local/ObservationsSummary.aspx?location=USCA0307
The winds have now shifted, and night time temps are forecast to move back into the low 30s. …https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/overlay=total_cloud_water/orthographic=-128.04,36.41,1107/loc=-125.099,40.001
I’ve lived in SoCal for too many years. Is this unseasonably hot? Yes.
Is it record breaking? Yes, but only in some places.
Is it unprecedented. No. Hot, dry weather during the “cool, rainy season” happens all the time.
All it takes is a strong high pressure to build over the Great Basin, resulting in offshore flow that heats adiabatically as it flows downslope from Great Basin elevations to coastal SoCal.
Since the end of LIA there have been literally thousands of “hottest ever” city records broken all over the world.
Good observation. I’m going to steal it for use in conversations at the local college.
markl – how does the number of new highs
compare to the number
of new lows?
last i saw, via andy revkin, it
was about 2-1.
97 in Oxnard? I don’t think so… My office is literally right next to the Oxnard Airport (I can watch planes land and take off). We reached MAYBE 90 degrees. It was hot – but nowhere near 97 (we don’t have AC in the place, it rarely breaks 80 degrees inside – maybe 1-2 days a year). I wonder where that measurement is actually made…
Here is the last 14 days from Intellicast. …http://www.intellicast.com/Local/ObservationsSummary.aspx?location=USCA0982
Interesting temp fluctuations last night. …http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Observation.aspx?location=USCA0819
Dan. I lived in Oxnard for a little over a year about 17 years ago. It never got near that hot all summer. Loved their climate but did tire of living like a refugee.
guess no one else can
read a thermometer,
right?
So, No need to adjust the past temperature reading
Thanks. but we knew that.
That is why GISS et al are nonsense.
As you have correctly said, people in the past used to be able to read thermometers,
and if anything, were extremely fastidious about it.
Adjusting their readings is tantamount to an insult to their capability.
But, its all the AGWers have to support their agenda.
how do you prefer
to correct for the
biases?
or don’t you
understand them?
AndyG55 commented – “As you have correctly said, people in the past used to be able to read thermometers,

you don’t
understand adjustments 🙂
i doubt you’ve ever tried to understand
them.
actually andy, all your responses
seem emotional, and not from
scientific reasoning.
“Over two dozen new records were set in the Los Angeles and San Diego area.”
Come on Anthony, you know better than that. That statement is totally meaningless without the ‘since when’ or the ‘for how long’ part.
