Japan recorded its highest average temperature this summer in 125 years, the nation's weather agency said on Friday (Sept 1).
Based on measurements at 15 locations around the country from June through August, the average temperature deviation was +1.76 degrees Celsius, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said. That exceeded the previous record of +1.08 degrees in 2010.
JMA's data goes back to 1898.
Average temperatures were considerably higher in the northern, eastern, and western parts of the country, the JMA said.
Japan?
Crimate Change.
Summer of 45 was hotter. In some places the temperature got up to about 5000 degrees Fahrenheit
I’m sure all the thermometers were perfectly accurate to a fraction of a degree 125 years ago.
Solar flares and an underwater volcano accounted for a lot of the high temperatures.
Ha ha.
If the heat was sustained week after week this summer, there was probably a reappearance of those horrid Murder Hornets.
They seem to love overwhelming heat during the day.

It’s been Toasty in Arizona Too.
But summer is over and
Life is Good.
I’m up here at Glacier National Park and all of the murals in the lobby are lamenting the melting of the glaciers. It’s funny but they show pictures from 1920, 1930, 1940 and so forth and they were already melting then. Those damn Model T’s! But the picture I looked at of one glacier from 1985 looked the same as today, plus or minus.
Um, yes. The everage temperature is higher based on available data. Why are you confused?
I do not believe it has anything to do with the accuracy or calibration of thermometers. Rather, according to a college friend (geologist), the organizations that record and report on weather/climate are using a different method to determine temperatures. In regards to heat, the previous method was to measure the temperature of the air at a particular height above ground (no idea what that height was but perhaps 5’,6’, 7’, etc above ground) but now they measure temperatures at ground level or no more than 12” - 24” above ground which gives a much higher reading.
Consider a piece of metal sitting in direct sunlight for a few hours and then put your hand on it and you will get one hell of a burn. Put a thermometer 1” above that same piece of metal and it will record a much higher temperature than if you held it 24” above the metal. The ground absorbs the energy/heat from the sun and then radiates it back into the air. The closer you are to the hot piece of metal, the higher the reading. They do this in order to demonstrate or prove that the climate is heating up and thus justify the claim and con game of “Climate Change”.
I’ll wait for Watts Up With That? to debunk this.

BUT THE NUMBER IS BIGGER. That is all you see and the headline.
Interesting. August temperatures where I live were 4 degrees cooler in 2023 than 2022, and my electric bill for air con was 32% lower.
Ok. Average temperature is higher. Your objection is?
A regular fire-storm.
I think that the ‘45 Tokyo weather event was called the LeMay Effect.
Every measurement must include an estimate of uncertainty. Such a number is not a guess. It is a calculation.
But we never see estimates of uncertainty when it comes to Climate Change. Could it be that the estimates of uncertainty are so large that they make the reported values worthless?
As an example, suppose I report a temperature increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius. And my calculated estimate of uncertainty is +/- 1.7 degrees Celsius. Then it’s possible that the temperature even dropped!
So I’ll just report the 1.5 degrees, and make the Climate Change alarmists happy.
Wow! It was at least this hot 125 years ago!
