Tampa Hits 100 Degrees Fahrenheit For The First Time In Recorded History

An air temperature of 100 degrees F was recorded for the first time since record-keeping began in 1890. Here's why that might be surprising.

Cool...

It was 105° in Lakeland (30 miles east of Tampa) in 1985.

It was 103° in Titusville in 1942.

It was 103° in Ft. Myers in 1981.

It was 100° at Tyndall AFB in 1942.

It was 98° in Homestead in 1944.

It was 101° in West Palm in 1942.

It was 103° in Orlando wayyyyyyyy back in 1921.

***It has been hot in Florida for a very long time.

But…….its never hit 100 in Tampa. Thats interesting for sure. The Tampa climate has always been protected by daily afternoon summer rains that cool off the area. Now, thru climate change, Temperatures are going right thru old norms.

Not really.....but the tin foil hat wearing rubes are definitely making it to be interesting. It hit 98 in 1975.....50 years ago for those doing the math.

We will see if this thing is still on, I guess.

 

[FLKY1998]

I live in the Ft. Lauderdale area. I think people naturally assume it gets 100 here or over. But it is almost always in the 90-93 range in the summer. Consistently hot the same way each day. And 90 here feels just as hot or hotter than 100 does elsewhere in the eastern part of the country.

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Standard FL summer temp- 92 - feels like 102, everyday from basically mid May to early Oct.

 

[JayHank]

I am a native of Pinellas County and it is always a few degrees cooler in the summer than across the bay. We are a Peninsular with water on 3 sides, plus a nice breeze off of the Gulf of Mexico. I doubt it has ever been 100 degrees.

Now I live 55 miles North on the Gulf and we are usually in the low to mid 90's in the peak of summer. Never 100.

I would begin to worry if it got cold in the summer months. Heat in July is expected and it has been since man began. I like it like that.

Oh, we know what your point is, and you failed mightily.

Tampa reach a New all time High of 100. None of your arguments can dispute this

Neither of you are making an argument. You are just both spouting facts and playing pattycake about whether climate change is man-made or not.

Are animals and plant life dying off in front of you today due to climate change?

 

[Finance85]

Turns out someone investigated the weather station at the Tampa airport where that temperature was recorded. A Delta jet turbine backwash seemed to have an effect at the time.

 

[JumperJack.]

“Ever recorded”.

 

[ScrewDuke1]

They've only been recording temps for what...about 200 years? Tampa (before it was known as Tampa obviously) could have hit over 100 thousands of times before temps were recorded.

Going along this line of reasoning, yesterday was the hottest day in Tampa, Fl in the last 73,000 days

It was 105° in Baltimore on August 7th, 1918
It was 104° in Boston on July 4th, 1911.

News flash....it has been very hot on random days for a hundred years or more.

 

[8titles]

Tampa has his 100 degrees, in 1848. It was before NWS. So again, the sheeple are trying to claim "climate change" as a end of world doomsday even though it continues to get proven false.

Uh, yeah, uh … but industrial age started in 1760!!!!

Lol...see her response to mine. She brings in Trump when we are talking record heat.

Record heat is just record heat. Same **** for centuries

Russia hit by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded! And, the most severe recorded earthquakes have happened since 1952!

Thanks for making my point. Tampa is hitting all time high temperatures.

Louisville hit 106 in the 1930s. I guess that entire city is just incinerated after almost 100 years of warming?

 

[sefus12]

I know I shouldn't do this, as you will simply pivot to some other point, but it’s easy to dispute this claim. All-time means ALL TIME, you know the billions of years the earth has been around. I think I pointed this out to you before the merge in the old climate change thread, but the earth, including the land Tampa is on, has been FAR hotter in the past. Hell, someone in the thread pointed out Tamps hit 100 in 1948. Either way, we’ve been a lot hotter than we were this week or last week or the week prior.

Hence, your all-time claim is simply not correct.

Their all time low temp was 18° on December 13, 1962. Global cooling 63 years ago?

If only we would give the government our property, they can change the climate.

That and paying enough taxes. Would surely get it done.
