This would be a hot four day stretch in Jasper, Texas, let alone Jasper, Alberta. Crazy! Off the top of my head I cant think of an Aussie site at 1000m ever recording +41c ! Anyways, some homework to do to check it.... |

Anyways, some homework to do to check it.... It isn't 1000m+, but Tom Price at 753m has record highs from October to February of 41C+ - which means the highlands around Tom Price with elevations >1000m have certainly passed 41C. If you're talking about more lower latitude Australia then you are probably correct. Also this heatwave has been awesome to follow, it's fucking insane how hot it got over there. |

Exactly as I said....1000m and +41c. Tom Price 746m asl ( I have worked there ) is a long way from 1000m. Leonora at 379m has had a 49c, and Wiluna at 521m has a 48c, they're the highest altitude temps I can think of without research. BTW, Tom Price has had a 45c and some 44.6's, but there are no higher altitude sites in WA to either confirm or deny. The figures say yes, perhaps on those higher peaks in Karijini.... |

Yep. If Tom Price has reached 44-45C at 753masl, then there's a pretty solid chance that somewhere at 1000m nearby has reached 43 or 44 (most likely). Just extrapolating those record highs to an elevation of 1000m asl.

Couple more tweets regarding the Lytton fire:
Most structures in the town will likely be gone by morning. Just devastating... I'm at a loss for words. Traveled (and stopped) through Lytton many times.

Also I think the 39.9°C from Fort Smith, NWT, may not go into the books. That reading seems to be from the NavCan site. Technical difficulties seem to be precluding the final reading from the ECCC site but based on the XML file it might be "only" 37.2°C.

center of the heat wave has northeastward to interior BC and Alberta. more of a western Canada heat wave now, though Washington east of the Cascades is still hot. Stehkin forecast 100°F today, slowly easing off

To the Canadian users, could you post the top 10 or top 20 stations by their highest temperature recorded in this event, plus the records by province/territory or even latitude? I’m already lost with so many crazy marks and it would be great to have them archived.

A little bit outdated though. In the 2019 survey, A/C installed population in Seattle increased to 44%. Well supplied comparing to barely over 5% in Europe.   |

I put a lot of work into this CD post and I don't want that effort wasted there so I'm reproducing it here verbatim:

edmountain I believe both stations were inside the same compound; with the ECCC in a Stevenson screen and the other an external instrument. Saw that on Twitter.
