If you look at global temps, many of the high temp records were set recently. This makes sense.
Look at this record though:
Most consecutive days above 48.9 °C (120 °F): 43 days; Death Valley, California from 6 July through 17 August 1917

The US has NOT had that much Summer global warming.
HALF of the all time hottest temps for the 50 states in the US happened in the 1930s..........during the Dust Bowl...they have NOT been broken.

| U.S. state and territory temperature extremes - Wikipedia 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. If two dates have the same temperature record (e.g. record low of 40°F in 1911 in Aibonito and 1966 in San Sebastian in Puerto Rico), only the most recent date is shown. en.wikipedia.org |
