Khatanga in northern Siberia beat its May record today, as well as its date record by more than 13C!
The old May record high was 20.4C, so it got beaten with exactly 5C! Khatanga beat the old record also the next two days.

May will be the first month this year and decade that hasn't had a single station record its record warmest month. December 2019 was also very close to record breaking at a few stations.

Spring sunshine (averaged throughout England)
1. 695.5 hours (2020)
2. 594.3 hours (1948)
3. 591.8 hours (1990)
4. 557.7 hours (2011)
5. 549.2 hours (1929/2009)
Puts it into context how surreal the last few months have been here.

At first I thought those were the records for any individual station, and laughed since this slightly above average sunshine spring gave us 746h, but national average is more impressive. |

At first I thought those were the records for any individual station, and laughed since this slightly above average sunshine spring gave us 746h, but national average is more impressive. Beating the old record by more than 15% over three whole months is more impressive than the actual figures themselves, God knows what the standard deviation must be for that to happen. The highest individual figure I could find was 795.2 hours at Shoeburyness, which is still pretty impressive by anybody's standards. Our sunniest places are always going to be in the south, so it's harder to get the really big numbers you guys can get in the Nordic countries. |

As I mentioned earlier, June 2020 was the hottest on record. The highest mean was 19.8C at the Tampere Tampella UHI station. That begs the question: is FMI going to accept that record like SMHI would, or will it discard it? Nevertheless, we have a new June mean record anyway. And that was atTurku Artukainen with 18.9C, beating the old record from Helsinki Kaisaniemi with 0.1C.

SMHI doesn't really have any stations with as large anomalies compared to nearby stations as FMI has. Falun would be the top contendor with a 1'C warmer mean this June compared to Borlänge airport roughly 20km away. But other than that only four cities have UHI stations; Uppsala, Stockholm, Norrköping and Gothenburg, and while the Stockholm station has a seemingly amazing location for UHI, it only had a 0.3'C higher mean temperature this June compared to Bromma Airport. 18.5 vs 18.2. (Highs and lows had a much larger difference though with 24.1/13.6 and 23.5/11.9) Meanwhile of the four stations in Tampere, three recorded 18.5, 18.5 and 18.8, and one 19.9. |

Very cold today due to an unusually tracked low pressure system aided by cold high pressure to the south of the state. BROKEN RECORDS TIME BABBYYYYY Perth Metro: Record low August maximum of 12.1C which broke the previous 13.2C. Swanbourne (beach): Record low August maximum of 11.6C which broke the previous 12.8C Jandakot: Record low August maximum of 13.3C which broke the previous 13.4C  Bickley got 10.4C which is close to its August record of 10.0C All these stations began in 1993, older stations didn't break their record maximums but it's impressive none-the-less. Basically means that these are close to 30-year cold anomalies |

New world record confirmed. The WMO is denying it because they want the record to be in the USA or one of their other favorite countries instead of China. Temperatures on Xinjiang's Flaming Mountain hit 70 degrees Celsius"The temperature in the Flaming Mountain scenic area of Turpan, a basin in northwestern China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, hit 70 degrees Celsius on June 15, China News reported. Extreme high temperatures were projected to affect wide swaths of Xinjiang on June 16, and the local meteorological observatory issued a red high-temperature alert. However, local traffic police still performed their duty, remaining on their feet for four hours despite the high temperatures." Link to storyProof: Here is the thermometer in the picture. About 70% of the way to the top, right?
A more detailed picture [ link to picture] shows that the scale goes from 0 to 100. So the thermometer is reading 70C. WORLD RECORD HEAT It's not an accurate thermometer or a world record, I know. Turpan is a hot place, but not 70C hot. |

Cherbourg set new August record high temperatures on the 7th with 33.4°C - the old record was 33.2°C.
Edit: Well apparently other cities in the western half of France were broken new monthly record too that day include Nantes.
Then also Creil and Rouen threw old records today.

Putting Shalop's post here. 40C to snow in just over two days. So apparently there's a new world record for the shortest amount of time between 40C and measurable snow (according to Brian Brettschneider). Rapid City hit 40C on the 5th, then got accumulating snow 56 hours later on the 7th. And this morning (the 9th) it reached -4C. |

Kokemäki Tulkkila in Western Finland hit 23.5C today, breaking the all-time nationwide record for the last week of September.
Tulkkila is a very recent station, records going only back to 2010. But nevertheless, that station's average high for the last week of September is 12.7C, so almost an 11C high above average!
