Oklahoma vs. Hottest Year Ever Claims

Oklahoma climate history.

Number of days per year reaching 100 degrees:

1936:  65 days over 100 degrees, including 36 consecutive days over 100 degrees

 
2012:  38 days over 100 degrees


2013:  7 days over 100 degrees


2014:  7 days over 100 degrees


2015:  3 days over 100 degrees



2016:  July 22 was the first day of 2016 over 100 degrees 


Do you see a trend for Oklahoma?

It's definitely not a warming trend.


There is no warming trend because NASA does not own Oklahoma state temperature data, and can not "adjust" it to show a warming trend.


NASA takes raw temperature data from around the world and "adjusts" it for their estimates of the average global temperature from surface thermometers.


The "adjustments" usually create more global warming than shown in the original raw data.
