My first nomination is Longyearbyen, 9.5°C in January. That's absolutely crazy. The peak sun angle starts at -11° and ends at -5°, which means most of that month doesn't even see polar twilight on mid-days.
Then Inukjuak's May record at 23.3°C when the Hudson Bay is solidly frozen and temps being 1/-5 on average. While this happens every year on that latitude in my climate, to do this surrounded by an ice sheet is quite remarkable.
That's not the winner though, for me that is Churchill, Manitoba, on the same Hudson Bay, with a 28.2°C April record. On Hudson Bay, in April  The average for that month is -5.1°C highs and -14.4°C lows.
Do you have any in mind?

Three months in a row that set new all-time national records for average means in Sweden from May-July 2018, the first of the three being more than 2'C warmer than the previous record.
And in the fall of 2006, 7 out of 8 consecutive months set new national records for warmest mean. September, October, November, December, February, March and April all set a new national record.

31F maximum on 15 April 2018. Broke the previous daily record by 10F, and was more than 34F below normal for the date. Latest ice day on record by one day short of a full week.
That's the equivalent of having a high of 54F in mid-July. (average high: 88.7F)
The lowest daily maximum in July, ever, is 64F.

I continue to find astonishing temperature records related to low-latitude Polar Canada. Kuujjuaq has a 31.2°C May record for a 5/-4 average month.
Inukjuak has a 16.1°C December record for a -15/-23 average month, a record that Environment Canada insists actually did happen on December 5, 1923... |

The summer of 1953. While it wasn’t especially remarkable based on averages, it hit 100 (38 C) on June 21st, 100 was barely possible in July, let alone in mid June, and then followed that up by hitting 99 (37 C) on September 3rd, part of 4 straight days over 95. That summer holds both the June and September record highs to this date and neither of those temperatures have occurred since in any month.
1952, 1953 and 1955 combined for 23 days with 95+ highs...that’s the same number as all of 1992-2018.
Pretty much looks at any heat statistic from the mid 1930s to early 1960s and you’ll be amazed.

January 1950 in Saskatoon (52 degrees north) had a mean temperature of -32.3C, equal to an average January in Alert, Nunavut, which is at 82 degrees north and has had no sunlight for several months by the time January rolls around there. I don't think we're ever gonna top that one.

OUR most impressive record since I've lived here, would have been the 32.2°C we set on Feb 17th of 2016. It was our earliest 90°F reading ever by 7 days (previous earliest was Feb 24th), and was 11.1°C above the Normal High of 21.1°C. Also consider our Normal High doesn't hit 32.2°C until April 29th and our average first 90°F of the year is Mar 24th
Edit: We have only tied or broken a monthly record high once in the 17 years I've lived here. On November 3rd of 2009, we had a Record High of 35.6°C (Normal High 27.8°C), which tied the November monthly Record High, previously set on Nov 1st and Nov 2nd of 1924, our last day with a Normal High of 35.6°C is October 2nd, so it was pretty impressive

I think these are quite remarkable:
Lappeenranta Konnunsuo

10 June 2000: high 26.2C, low -1.8C
7 September 1999: high 24.2C, low -0.5C
and...
Helsinki Kaisaniemi:
May 1867: mean temp 1.8C, 8.5C below average.
February 1871: mean temp -18.2C, 13.5C below average.
January 1987: mean temp -16.5C, 13C below average.

Not a good remarkable, but January 1992 (coldest January on record) went the first 12 days with only 2 of those exceeding 20°C. The whole month had 15 days below 20°C, which I'm sure is a record. If not for a couple of spikes of 38°C, the monthly average high of 21.9°C may have been much lower. I know there's an exaggerated rep of these days being common but trust me, this is ridiculous. 1992 Max TempsNow for a good type of remarkable - October and December 2015 saw deviations of 6°C and 5°C respectively in their maximum temperatures. It was also the first time (in October) that I had a grassfire near my house. 2015 Max Temps |
