On today's edition of what you won't read in the press, 36 states set their “all-time” 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 high temperature records prior to 1965. Of those, 34 were logged before 1955.
Eight states set their August high temperature records in 1936 alone, the most for a single year. This is closely followed by seven in 1918 and then four each in 1930 and 1983.
No terrifying “climate crisis” in this dataset.
Even though I put it in 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 that this map only shows 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 statewide high temperature records, I'm sure some poor soul with no reading comprehension skills will tell me I'm wrong, pointing out the “all-time” record for all months for 𝑥 state; “Errm, akchually.”
So, for the people in the back, this map shows 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀.
