Australian bureaucrats use "adjustments" to eliminate 1923 - 1924 heat wave record

Marble Bar 
Australia 
had been 
world famous 
for many decades, 
because of the 160 
consecutive days 
( October 31, 1923 
to 7 April 7. 1924 ), 
with the maximum 
daily temperature 
      ( T-max ) 
at or above 37.8C
        ( 100F  ) 
-- a global record !

It was a legend 
until the Australian 
Bureau of Meteorology
         ( BoM)  
"adjusted" the 
historical data.

BoM "adjusted: 
the temperatures 
from 4,000 km away, 
and nine decades 
after the actual
measurements.

BoM now claims 
the Marble Bar 
T-max was:
-- One degree C. too warm on Nov. 18, 1923 ? 
-- 0.6°C too warm on Nov. 19, 1923 ?
-- 0.3°C too warm on Nov. 20, 1923 ?
-- 0.2°C too warm on Nov. 21, 1923 ?
-- 0.8°C too warm on Nov, 22, 1923 ? 

The world record 
was lost because 
March 8, 1924 
"adjustments" 
magically cooled 
the temperature 
from 38.2°C 
to 36.5°C. 

What caused 
the thermometer 
to be 1.7°C too warm 
on that particular day ? 

BoM will never explain.

No press release 
for the revisions,
of course.

Cooling the past
is a very common 
"adjustment",
so that the
coming global 
warming crisis 
fairy tales 
are more 
effective
propaganda. 

Thanks to 
two rounds 
of the Bureau
of Meteorology’s 
A ustralian 
C limate 
O bservation 
R eference 
N etwork 
   ( ACORN ) 
"adjustments"
of historical
temperature 
observations,
Marble Bar, 
in the 
north of WA, 
can no longer 
boast it had 
a world record 
heatwave in 
1923 / 1924.

The latest 
ACORN 2  
"adjustments" 
reduced the 
160 days
to just 128 days, 
from 
November 1, 1923 
to March 7, 1924.

That's the second
longest heat wave
now, no longer
number one !
