Coldest first 15 days of July in history

The average daily high temperature for the first 15 days of July 2009 have only averaged 21.9°C. This is lower than any previous start of July since records began in the region in 1915**.

The previous coldest was 1917 when the daily highs averaged 22.4
°C .

The average daily low temperature has been 11.2
°C and for that only the year 1950 had a lower average (10.8°C), but overall this year has been colder than 1950.

As I've been saying you have to go to Whitehorse to find the summer, their high temperatures in July so far have actually been higher than ours (24.0
°C). But their low temperatures make their overall average a bit lower than ours. As well, they had a temperature of -1.2°C on June 28th, that's kind of nasty.


** Records for the region started in October of 1914, so for July we have records back to 1915, the July data is also missing for 1939 but there is nothing to indicate from nearby records that it was a unusually cold

You're telling me this weather is actually happening in July? Here I thought all along that we were having a pleasantly mild winter.

Everyone from the school teachers pushing this embarrassing point in history to Al Gore himself and yes the Pres should all be charged for leading the world to war against an invisible and now non existent enemy called Climate Change.
This liberal WMD scam will not go unpunished unlike the neocons.



There is a growing movement of real environmentalists to have Al Gore and those scientists involved with the global warming theory, charged with treason for leading our country to war against a non existent enemy. History will view Al Gore as the Bernie Madoff of climate change.

I respectfully disagree with the comment left by "anonymous".

First one must know the difference between weather and climate - a cold July is a weather event.

Second - as my other post says this has actually been the 4th warmest year world-wide, the only cold spot has been Canada. I read a report that Texas just had their hottest 30 days in history.

I would like to see your proof of this "growing movement of real environmentalists" against AGW.
