Summer 2021 Hotter Than ‘Dust Bowl’ Of The 1930s, NOAA Says
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) confirmed in a new report that the average temperature during this summer for the contiguous U.S. was hotter than the Dust Bowl in the 1930s.
The meteorological summer between June 1 to Sept. 1 averaged 74F for the U.S., or 2.6 degrees warmer than the long-term average. NOAA said, “this technically exceeds the record heat of the 1936 Dust Bowl Summer, but the difference is extremely small (less than 0.01 of a degree F).”

Readers should be familiar with our weather notes this summer, pointing out extreme temperatures and drought across the country’s western half.
NOAA said 18.4 percent of the contiguous U.S. experienced records, with five states, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah, setting new records for the warmest meteorological summers of all time. Another 16 states had a top-five warmest summer on record.
The most notable heat wave of the summer was in the Pacific Northwest of the country, which sparked wildfires and stressed out energy grids across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Northern California. More than 35 metro areas in the western U.S. tied or registered new records during multiday heat waves. In some of these places, temperatures surpassed 120F.
Tying a couple of months of heat waves to global warming requires a lot of analysis. Although climate alarmists, such as Greta Thunberg, had no problem tweeting mainstream media reports about how the world was going to hell and condemning fossil fuels.
We noted last week cooler weather trends are ahead after Sept. 17-19.

Editor’s note: It never ceases to amaze me how such claims can be made, when the evidence shows the exact opposite. This chart created by Tony Heller shows the 1930’s were significantly warmer:
Then there is the state-of-the-art Climate Reference Network, which shows no increase in US temperatures since 2005:

Hottest ever-
“Bumper U.S. corn and soybean harvests are within reach
The United States is headed for its largest corn harvest ever and its third-largest soybean crop, based on the USDA’s annual Acreage report, issued on Wednesday. The mammoth crops would be ready for harvest late this summer, replenishing U.S. grain inventories that are being drained by robust demand at home and abroad”

NOAA lies like a rug.
I am not a fan of average world temperature results, however Roy Spencer over at the University of Alabama, Huntsville puts out a monthly chart.

This charts counters NOAA’s.

IN the US you need to use the following-
“In January 2005, NOAA began recording temperatures at its newly built U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN). USCRN includes 114 pristinely maintained temperature stations spaced relatively uniformly across the lower 48 states. NOAA selected locations that were far away from urban and land-development impacts that might artificially taint temperature readings.”
“The USCRN has eliminated the need to rely on, and adjust the data from, outdated temperature stations. Strikingly, USCRN temperature stations show no warming since 2005 when the network went online. If anything, U.S. temperatures are now slightly cooler than they were 14 years ago”
https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2019/08/23/climate_alarmists_foiled_no_us_warming_since_2005_110470.html
“The U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) was established to give the most accurate temperature readings compared to the old Cooperative Observer Network (COOP) which suffers from urban encroachment, siting problems, and a multitude of human induced inhomogeneities such as station moves, incomplete data, closed stations, and runway condition stations at airports that were never designed to report climate data”

That’s why I included a USCRN chart in my editor’s comment 🙂

An average temperature has no physical meaning because a total temperature has no meaning. Even where an average does exist it basically removes all the information from the data and tells us very little. I cannot think of any engineering calculation where an average of any quantity is used in any calculation.
Imagine giving a tailor the average height of 1000 men and telling him to make suits in the right size and quantity to fit each of them. That is how ridiculous an average temperature is.

I have seen the tables that show many state high temperature records were set in the 1930’s. These records still stand. They must take us for fools. This is why teaching history has been deemphasized in schools run by liberals and progressives. That way no one can challenge the pronouncements of the “Ministry of Truth.” I have a personal interest in the heat waves and droughts of the 1930’s. My grandfather lost his farm here in Arkansas in the 1930’s because of crop failures so the bank foreclosed. This year area farmers are having a good year and combines are busy in the fields.
I just received the novel, “1984” in the mail and it has been over 50 years since I read it back in high school. I remember it well and I need to refresh my memory of the story. It was required reading in English class back in the 1960’s. I remember thinking how horrible it would be to line under the dictatorship of “Big Brother.” I’ll bet few high school students read it nowadays.
I see the novel “1984” coming to pass every day. I am so thankful I received my degree in history back in the days when uncensored history was still actually taught in college. So it is easy for me to see through this nonsense from NOAA and NASA. They have not been able to shove historical records down the “memory hole” just yet. The records are still there if people care to look. But people must use critical thinking skills to get around the lies.
I really don’t think George Orwell intended his book to be an instruction manual. He intended it to be a warning.

My offspring did study “1984” in public school. It was probably between 2005 and 2014. I was pleasantly surprised!
Regarding the record heat in the 1930’s, I have long wondered if the radiation from the newly-widespread radio usage had something to do with how dry things got. Mass broadcast media was still rather new then. But even out in “flyover country”, I’ll bet most farm families had a radio set.
Since EMF has a drying effect, and all that flatland area probably had many, many small (and large) radio stations, it just makes me wonder.

Hi Richard, Andy, Max and other PSI Readers,
November 20, 2018 John O’Sullivan (PSI Editor) posted this essay for me. (https://principia-scientific.com/the-corvallis-or-uscrn-site-a-natural-laboratory-part-two/)
Two PSI readers responded: DUNCAN J MacCrimmon (whose name I have not read here at PSI since) and Herb Rose (who, as is common, disagreed with something I had written).
While I was encouraged by both comments because they proved at least two PSI readers had read my essay, I was quite discouraged about the lack of evidence that more PSI Readers had not commented about the actual data being measured and reported by the NOAA USCRN project and by the even more extensive Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) project (funded by various agencies of the US government).
So, I generally stopped submitting essays to John O’, who had advised (taught) me that MANY PSI Readers do have not have time to read long essays. So I have turned to writing comments which sometimes end up being (maybe) too long. So …
Have a good day, Jerry

John also advised me to try and keep my own essays to a maximum of 2000 words, which is also what we try ad do when publlishing others’ work, and add the ‘see more’ link at the end.

Hi Richard, Terry, (etc.) and other silent PSI Readers,
How is it, after about 5 years, that no one, not even Herb Rose, has made a comment specially about the DATA, which was measured and reported, by the USCRN and RAWs projects???
Have a good day, Jerry

How do the temperatures we experience start fires? Paper burns at 451F. Fires are not started by high temperatures, they are started by lightning or humans.

Another total crock of nonsense. Here in the upper Midwest in the great lakes area, there were few days where the temps even hit the 90’s. If this is global warming, it seems that in my neck of the woods there would have been some extremes. We haven’t seen the low 100’s in about 35 years. More lies, just like the fake pandemic.

It definitely was not warmer in the UK. There was too much solar radiation management spraying the skies for the sun to be that warm.

Most of Western Europe seems to have been plagued this Summer by low temperatures.
Now we see what happened: The Democrats in Washington and Oregon states stole our Summer as a publicity stunt für Grating Thunfisch.
Can we sue them to get our Summer back?
Blessed be

Hi Karma, Tom and other PSI Readers,
Both Karma and Tom report the observed fact that WEATHER ALWAYS OCCURS LOCALLY and REGIONALLY, but NEVER WORLD WIDE. Hence, there is NO AVERAGE WEATHER.
