... July 22, 2024.
 |
| Even when it's not the hottest day on record, shade is still invaluable in the summertime. |
Okay then, let's test the spirits ... and investigate the thermometer readings of various cities throughout Planet Earth's Northern Hemisphere, for July the 22nd, 2024, temperatures, along with the AVERAGE July temperature for each city ... to see how much of a heat anomaly there was throughout Planet Earth.
This would mean that there would be a lot of record highs throughout well known cities. In fact, if this hottest-day assertion is real, then we would easily locate tragic & apocalyptic temperatures throughout Planet Earth, for July 22nd, 2024. Let's see, city by city:
Washington DC is among the most famous cities where it gets hot come summertime. So, let's see: It's average high temperature for July is 89F. In as much, if July 22, 2024 were the hottest day in recorded history, then the D.C. high should have been significantly above average.
The truth is that the July 22nd high was 7 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE. It only reached 82F that day. Thus, July 22nd was NOT the hottest day for Washington D.C. in a capacity.
Nor was it the hottest day ever, for New York City, being that the high there on the hottest day in recorded history was three degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE. However, the low for that night was 3 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the average low. So, July 22nd 2024 was a perfectly average temperature day in New York City. No End of the World Apocalyptic heatwave their, either.
Let's now go straight south to Miami were it's guaranteed to be hot in the Summertime. The average late July temp there is 89F to 91F degrees. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the high was exactly in the middle of the average range, at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. No drastic temperature increase there in July of 2024.
Let's go west into Texas where it gets really hot in July. The average July high in Galveston is marked at 90F. Well, on the hottest day in recorded history, the Galveston high was Eleven degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE, at a comfortable, shiver-free 79F.
Now, the average July low for Galveston is marked at 80F. On JUly 22nd, 2024, the low in Galveston was 73F. That's seven degrees Fahrenheit below average. So, add Galveston's high with its low for the hottest day on record, and we have Galveston reaching no higher than 18 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW NORMAL. No apocalyptic Global Boiling here, folks. We need to go to the next town, to see what's going on there.
Let us go north, along the Mississippi River and land at St. Louis. And yes, it can get very hot in the Midwestern states of Kansas, Missouri, & Oklahoma. In fact, while I was driving through Tulsa in 2012, it was 106F. So, maybe on the hottest day in history, the Midwest would have blazing temps.
Okay then, the average July high in St. Louis Missouri is marked as being 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the high in St. Louis was 6 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE, at 84F.
Let us adjourn to Tulsa Oklahoma, the place where I experienced the hottest outdoor temperature in my life, at 106F. Now, the average high July temperature for Tulsa is 94 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the high in Tulsa was 6 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW NORMAL, at 88F.
I know!!! Arizona is always blazingly hot in July. Let's try there. Well, the average July high temperature for Tucson in July is 100F. On July 22nd, 2024, the high in Tucson was 100F.
PLUS, the average nighttime low for Tucson in July is 75F. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the nighttime low in Tucson was 75F. The temperatures there were perfectly average in Tucson, on the hottest day in recorded history.
There's more to come, as in the temps of foreign cities on the so-called hottest day on record. But, I've gotta go, right now. In review, concerning the July 2024 American temps, we found one city's high temp 7 degrees Fahrenheit below average, another city's high 11 degrees below normal, 2 cities that were 6 degrees below average, and 3 cities perfectly average in their temperatures.
At the least, July 22nd, 2024 was NOT the hottest day in America.
Oh by the way, it's only fair to note that, on July 22nd, 2024, Baghdad reached a high of 113F and Fez Morocco reached a high of 111F. But of course, those 100+ temps in the desert part of the Middle East have occurred repeatedly.
It's also fair to note that Phoenix reached 109F on that day, but 107F is the average July high temp. So, it was only 2 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in Phoenix, on the day which is supposedly the hottest one on record.
In addition, the above charts were posted pursuant to 17 USC 107, being that they are being used to teach whoever what's to be informed. Okay for now.
