Does anyone know what is the northernmost place that have recorded an all time high of 40C? I imagine it is somewhere in Siberia.

Thanks, interesting thread. Khatanga at almost 72N has recorded 36,7C.

Yakutsk at 62'N managed 38.4'C... Close but no cigar.

Yakutsk at 62'N managed 38.4'C... Close but no cigar. If global warming does indeed continue it's only a matter of time before Yakutsk reaches 40C during a heat wave, given the enormous landmass there, don't you think? What I've harder to see is a 40C day ever occuring in Sweden. Given the record is currently 38C and has been unbroken for more than half a century it seems like Scandinavia has gotten more of a maritime temperature increase. During many heat waves, Scandinavia has even failed to go above 35C in recent decades. I could see Målilla reach 39C one day, but 40C is still a long way off. |

Oh yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. I remembered a station almost touching 40'C but thought it was Yakutsk and got disappointed when I saw it was only 38.4'C. |

Thanks, interesting thread. Khatanga at almost 72N has recorded 36,7C. Pretty goddamn impressive. More impressive than the 39.4 C at Fort Smith IMO. That place has a wicked range with a record low of -59 C as well. Kind of reminds me of Baker Lake, Nunavut but with less seasonal lag. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Lake,_Nunavut#Climate |

Global warming means warmer nights, but not warmer days. If you graph daily maximums, they actually drop over time for most of the planet. Someone pointed to the 103F/39.4C in Fort Smith, NWT in 1941. The day earlier in British Columbia it was 112F/44.4C in 3 different spots, a record that still stands today. In fact, that heatwave was by far the most extreme ever seen in western Canada. Even right down on coast in BC on Vancouver Island it was over 40C! |

Yeah, uh, our average highs in summer months have increased like 1.5'C in 30 years, but nice try. And apart from just warming, weather is becoming more and more extreme as well, with larger standard deviations. |

The weather is not becoming more and more extreme, at least not that I can tell, but I'm open to the idea if you can post graphs.  questioningthedata.wordpress.com/2015/09/04/the-coldest-day-in-british-columbias-history/ |
