He argues that the apparently hot temperatures in 1896 (such as the 50C recorded in Camden, New South Wales, as well as scorching temperatures in Victoria and Western Australia) demolish the Bureau of Meteorology’s claim that 2013 was the hottest Australian year on record.

Warming in the instrumental temperature record. Most of the observed warming occurred in two periods: around 1900 to around 1940 and around 1970 onwards; the cooling/plateau from 1940 to 1970 has been mostly attributed to sulphate aerosol.

That’s why the Bureau’s official temperature records start in 1910 – before that date we have good grounds for believing that the data are poor and biased (and would be difficult to adjust for the many problems). But earlier data are available on the Bureau’s website.

We don't remember weather averages, but we revel in memories of the extreme weather that affected our lives. For instance, many people in southern Wisconsin remember a series of soggy days last June followed by a rainfall of more than seven inches that turned back yards into lakes and basements into swimming pools.

Although Wisconsin's temperatures in the last 10 years were warmer than they were from 1956-85, they are still well below the average temperatures of the 1930s and 1940s. However, the fact that average temperatures here have not reached an all-time high does not discount a greenhouse effect.

Instrumental temperature record. For temperature changes on other time scales, see Temperature record. Global mean surface temperature change from 1880 to 2016, relative to the 1951–1980 mean. The black line is the global annual mean and the red line is the five-year lowess smooth. The blue uncertainty bars show a 95% confidence limit.

exists and is an alternate of . Various authors have credited the invention of the thermometer to Abū Alī ibn Sīnā (usually known as Avicenna), Cornelius Drebbel, Robert Fludd, Galileo Galilei or Santorio Santorio. But the thermometer was not a single invention, it was a development. The 11th Century was the first official temperature recording. 4 people found this useful.

The FactCheck is correct that high temperatures have not been “wiped” from the Bureau of Meteorology’s temperature record. Temperature measurements taken before the official climate record starts in 1910 are excluded because they are of dubious quality.

Everybody talks about the weather, but a few of us try to figure it out. In Wisconsin, dozens of cooperative observers and several U.S. Weather Bureau offices have regularly observed the weather across the state and accurately recorded conditions since 1891.

Best Answer: The earliest government weather records were kept for the Army Surgeon General at Army posts starting in 1814. In the late 1840s, the Smithsonian began tracking weather reports sent by telegraph from a national network of observers. In 1870, the Army Signal Corp began a true National weather observation network.
