They'll help take you back to the
previous season when we were all a little more carefree, a hell of a lot
warmer, and glowing with a tan.
The reason for my
previous question is, suppose for simplicity, we have only two
seasons winter and summer, and winters are getting
warmer and summers are getting cooler (or vice versa) with anomalies in a series like this (units of micro-Kelvin if you like).
Mean temperatures for the
season were 1.57 C above the 1961 - 1990 average, surpassing the
previous record of 1.43 C (set in 2006) by 0.14 C. Daytime maximum temperatures were also the highest on record, coming in 2.07 C above average and 0.24 C above the
previous record (also set in 2006), while overnight minimum temperatures were the fourth -
warmest on record.
For example: (a) In 1919, the statistical means crosses zero - value; or, in other words, all
previous years are colder; all later years are
warmer; (b) Between 1917 and 1928, the increase during the summer
season is of +0.9 °C per 10 years, and in winter, of +8.3 °C, in February, of +11.0 °C; (c) It seems that the changes are coming from the North.
[Response: Your argument misses the point in three different and important ways, not even considering whether or not the Black Hills data have any general applicability elsewhere, which they may or may not: (1) It ignores the point made in the post about the potential effect of
previous, seasonal
warming on the magnitude of an extreme event in mid summer to early fall, due to things like (especially) a depletion in soil moisture and consequent accumulation of degree days, (2) it ignores that biological sensitivity is far FAR greater during the
warm season than the cold
season for a whole number of crucial variables ranging from respiration and photosynthesis to transpiration rates, and (3) it ignores the potential for derivative effects, particularly fire and smoke, in radically increasing the local temperature effects of the heat wave.
