There are 365 days per year. If all temperatures were based on chance, and decent records in places like Phoenix were taken for only 120 years, wouldn’t there be on average a couple of record highs per year just from chance?

Yes, so that makes the 1930’s record heat anomaly even more unusual.

True logic... it’s like flipping a coin 8 times & always having tails or heads show up consecutively.

.5x.5x.5x.5x.5x.5x.5x.5x = .003% probability (should not be happening)
