That article is a nonsense pile of wank. Melbourne's avg high in Feb is actually 26.9C if we use 1991-2020 averages. 25.8C is outdated malarky from the 1800's. It also fails to mention that the 25.8C in Sydney they quote to be the "same" as Melbourne, is wrong for two reasons. Again they use 150 year old outdated crap, and the quoted data is from Sydney Observatory Hill which is beside the harbour and only a few km inland from the open ocean, thus it almost always gets seabreezes and is far cooler than what 75% of the Sydney metro area observes. Not only that, but they hand picked 5 select days this winter when the Sydney station was cooler than Melbourne, which is made out to be "impressive". Meaning every other day this winter was warmer in Sydney than in Melbourne. It is nothing unusual nor noteworthy. Due to frontal passages, there will be times when Sydney records a cooler high on the same day. Another cleverly manipulated article from the media. |

dafuq is a heat logger?! Let me guess, temperature sensors placed in locations where the heat readings will be significantly higher than in a properly located weather station... "No it wasn't 35C that day, it was 55C!" |

Preliminary August 2021 here in Cranbrook. Shouldn't be much different. I expected August to be cooler than July but not by this much, and certainly didn't foresee it being so exceptionally wet. Wettest August in quite some time. I will go with a slightly warmer than normal September with average or below average precipitation since it is very rare for Cranbrook to get two wet months in a row.  |

I'm guessing most popular as in which season most people cream over. Looks like the data was gathered from various weather forums in their respective countries.

People in Egypt like summer? Also doesnβt seem right for here, seems like most Americans donβt like cold and snow. Wonder what the methodology is. |

Strewthless C'mon, you're better than that. How can people in the UK like winter, but Ireland & France summer? And how people in Greenland supposedly prefer fall? Something's not right in there.

The map came from this page: http://instagr.am/p/CS7ZWxFM3yK No idea about methodology, looks highly dubious, but it's good for triggering debate  Would be interesting to do a forum poll and make our own map. |

There has been some recent discussion about the bullshit that is the Canadian humidex with its 50C apparent temps in places like Nova Scotia. Here is the opposite of it. The BOM "feels like" temps when it's windy with low humidity. today is a good day to see it in action. Behold, the grandest bullshit since the Humidex.  |

Well summer over for another year and good riddance I say; another awful August with the most laughable "max" temp in decades and 0 sun hours. Hopefully be an interesting autumn this year with an Indian summer in October and snow in November, maybe some good wind storms too.

Decided look up which months have the most common cold/heat records by US state, these are the numbers:
Heat records:
July - 30 (CA, CO, CT, DE, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NH, NJ, NY, ND, OH, PA, SD, UT, VT, VA, WV, WI)
August - 11 (AR, GA, HI, LA, MA, NC, OK, OR, RI, TN, WY)
June - 8 (AK, AZ, FL, NV, NM, SC, TX, WA)
September - 1 (AL)
Few things to note:
- I of course expected July to be the most common month, but I expected a little bit more out of August and a little bit less out of June. I expected the splits to be like 30/15/5 or so.
- Six out of the eleven states that have August records are in the south-central or southeastern part (AR, GA, LA, NC, OK, TN) indicating that that region commonly gets their strongest heat waves in August, more than other regions, also a good indicator of the late summer high pressure that dominates the South. The September record in Alabama is also indicative of this feature.
- Southwestern states have lots of June records, indicating a somewhat pre-monsoonal heat buildup.
- June record in WA is from the massive heat wave this year.
Cold records:
January - 24 (AL, AK, AZ, CA, DE, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, KY, ME, MD, MA, MS, MT, NV, NH, NJ, NC, PA, RI, SC, VA)
February - 21 (AR, CO, CT, FL, IA, KS, LA, MI, MN, MO, NM, NY, ND, OH, OK, OR, SD, TX, UT, WI, WY)
December - 5 (NE, TN, VT, WA, WV)
Few things to note:
- Many more February records than August records.
- Lots of February records in Southern, Great Plains, and interior West states despite February being the warmest winter month in all of these regions. Majority of February records came from three huge February cold waves (1899, 1933, and 1936). I also expected more February records in the NE than other regions but seems that isn't the case.
- January not as dominant as I thought, I also expected a bit more December records, especially out west.
