If that increases sea surface temperatures than that doesn't bode well for hurricane season... :eek:

Thought you meant 10-12C from the title. :lol:

How far back do your records go?

Tampa Bay Hurricane · #7 Postby **Tampa Bay Hurricane** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:56 pm

The records for the official stations go back about 100 years I think-
and they are around 82 to 84 as record highs

for my own station goes back less than 10 years

but yesterday's reading beats out all local records
by 10-12 degrees..but then again this is a personal
weather station of mine not the official

But some official newspaper stations recorded 87-92 F yesterday

10 years isn't very far to go back but at 6C higher than previously that is rather warm. I wouldn't tend to compare my measurements to official ones though, unless you are measuring the temperature in a Stevenson's Screen at a height of 1.5m over grass? (Or at least in conditions similar to this)
