Ok, so we have a thread about record events that has happened recently or might be broken in the near future, but this is for all-time records in your area/state/country/continent/hemisphere/solar system I'll start. Daily temps in Puumala SE Finland in July 2010, the hottest month ever recorded in the Nordic Countries:  |

February 1986 in Bingley, our coldest month on record and one of the very few occasions in living memory when a non-mountain British site has recorded an average high below freezing. That's so cold by modern standards you have to go back to March 2013 to even find one day as cold as we averaged for an entire month!  |

January 17, 1940 when it hit -43,5°C:  Summer of 2010 was brutal and record-breaking here as well, the three summer months together averaged 18,5°C. Only car AC offered some relief. I thought it would never happen again, then 2011 was exactly as hot. The first cool days at the end of it felt like Jesus had returned. Even thinking about it makes me feel sorry for people stuck in Florida that much more. |

Summer 2006 was hot and super dry, for example in Helsinki it rained only 4mm in July. Russian Karelia had massive forest fires which they couldn't extinguish. In August when the winds turned to from the East, Southern Finland had a super smog for almost two weeks. Helsinki Käpylä, air quality PM10 180 µg/m3 hourly mean (EU healthy limit is 50 µg/m3):  Gulf of Finland:  Helsinki Kumpula September 2006:  Helsinki Kumpula August 2006:  |

 the days before and after vouggatjålme set the all-time low in sweden. quite interesting that -52.1C was recorded 2 days later, and that there was a -46.7C reading a few days earlier. also interesting to compare to the cold snap in 1999, when the maximum temperatures were like -47C instead of -28 to -38C. |

Another Bingley cold record which will never be beaten: the start of May 1979.  24 and 25 April 1981 both had a high of 1C so in theory that 2C high in May could happen again, but apart from 1979 I can't find a single case of a day in May not reaching 6C. |

1. October this year was the only in recorded history which saw the northernmost province, Finnmark, recording both the warmest and coldest temp in the country.
2. This autumn, first overnight freeze came Oct 8th at Kristiansand (airport) in the far south, while at Kirkenes (airport) in the far NE near Murmansk the first freeze came Oct 9th. Veery late for Kirkenes. And the airport there is 89 m asl.
3. Kristiansand on the other hand recorded 17.3C on Nov 2th, new all-time high for Nov there, old record 15.5C.
So they beat us - Trondheim airport's record is 16.1C.

1. We have never had a November month without freezing low. The warmest record low in November at the airport is -4.4C. The coldest low ever is a chilling -19C.
Strangely, the warmest record low at the airport in December is warmer: -2.8C in 2006.
So far this Nov the record low is 0.1C. But a freeze (-2C) is expected on the 14th.
2. Not necessarily a record but anyway: Nov 10th and four weather stations north of the Arctic Circle are still waiting for their first freeze this autumn. They are all on islands, such as Røst.
Further south are also stations on the mainland without freeze. Like Ørland where the first f-35s in Norway was celebrated today.

I guess this is a reasonable place to put this.
It's only recently come to my attention just how divergent, exceptional, and contradictory 2018 was in weather.
Some highlights:
2nd coldest April on record (very nearly coldest)
- Most days with at least a trace of snow in April (6)
- 3 measurable snowfalls on 3 consecutive sundays (1", 1", dusting - on the 1st, 8th, 14th-15th)
- 2nd-most days with a snow depth of 1" in April (3)
- Latest ice day on record, only the seventh April ice day on record (15th, max 31F)
- 2nd-lowest temperature ever recorded in April (16F on the 7th, all-time record is 12F in 1975)
- Most freezes (sub-32F) in the month of April (13)
- Subjectively: It felt more wintry than the entire winter that came before it
2nd warmest May on record (prevented from being warmest only because a past weather station was in the UHI)
- Only May on record to never drop below 50F (lowest temp: 54F)
- Only one below-average day the entire month (and it was only 0.5F below average at that)
- Only five days with a sub-80F max (mind you, the average max in May is 74.8F, which means 26 of 31 days were more than 5F above average)
- 3rd-most 90F days ever in May (6), surpassed only by the UHI-influenced 1962 and the Dust Bowl 1934
Summer
- D4 "exceptional" drought by August. Precipitation statistics are deceptive. The only rain came in the form of tiny localized intense downpours. It just happened that a lot of them landed over the airport. I have photographic proof of extreme drought for any doubters.
Whole-year records
- Most freezes (sub-32F) in a calendar year (127)
- Very high number of "tropical nights" - mins of 68F or higher (67)*
*discounting UHI station: data only since 1973
- Sandwiched between the third consecutive extremely unsnowy winter and a very snowy one
October
- Earliest measurable snowfall on record (14th, 0.2")
- 2nd-wettest on record
- October 6-9, 2018: wettest four-day stretch on record in KC - epic droughtbusting multi-day rainstorm
Coldest November on record
- 2nd snowiest on record - but really, the snowiest: the so-called "snowiest on record" had one huge snowstorm on the 29th. 2018 had steady snow through the whole month.
- Blizzard (genuine blizzard conditions, 25th) - only November blizzard on record in the state of Missouri
- Third-most freezes in the month of November (22)
- 2nd-most days with at least a trace of snow (6)

Since I don't have all the data from Kuujjuaq's history I can't say for sure all of these are records, but still for an Inuit Canadian climate these months since the turn of the century were rather insane: September 2003: 14.8/6.4 for a mean of 11.1°C for normals of 6.4°C for 1981-2010.
February 2010: -8.0/-15.8 for a mean of -11.9°C for normals of -24.1°C for 1981-2010.
December 2010: -2.9/-8.9 for a mean of -5.9°C for normals of -18.3°C for 1981-2010. June 2012: 19.8/6.1 for a mean of 12.9°C for normals of 7.5°C for 1981-2010.
August 2014: 21.4/6.6 for a mean of 14.0°C for a normal average high of 16.0°C for 1981-2010.
March 2018: -4.4/-16.8 for a mean of -10.6°C for normals of -17.9°C for 1981-2010.
The December 2010 one is absolutely insane for a climate like Kuujjuaq indeed is  Especially considering how Kuujjuaq actually was warmer than Stockholm's UHI that month! |

Snowflakes were observed in Pensacola, Florida as well.
I think that is quite normal for university towns..

Los Angeles failed to reach 70°F in February for the first time in history. Must be that pesky global warming.
