Japan, South Korea soar to hottest recorded levels

By Jason Samenow, Published: August 12

Late last week Austria and Slovenia established new records for extreme heat in central Europe. Moving east, we can now add South Korea and Japan to the list of countries with new high temperature records, courtesy the summer of 2013.

The Wall Street Journal reports Shimanto city, in southern Japan, climbed to 106 degrees (41 C) Monday, the country’s Highest temperature Ever measured.
In Tokyo, the nighttime temperature dropped to just 87 F (30.4 C) Sunday tweets The Weather Channel’s Nick Wiltgen, its highest overnight low temperature in 136 years of record-keeping.
The hot weather is being blamed for 9 deaths in Japan over the weekend writes IOL News.

In South Korea, the record-breaking heat peaked Saturday.
“The government issued a warning of power shortages and the highest temperature ever recorded by the Korea Meteorological Association was hit: 39.2 degrees [102.6 F],

Wouldn't want to be in that pool.

Probably wouldn't want to stay home either since I doubt that SK has a lot of air conditioning. I lived there for almost 8 years and I don't remember anybody having it but that was a while ago.

My thread on Atlanta was humor, a stick in the eye meant to torment the warmer cult. Neither of our examples mean squat in the AGW debate but if I were laying a trap you fell right into it. :lol:

ALL your posts/Flames are "traps"... you unwittingly embarrass yourself with.

And it was NO Trap, just your USUAL BS Fallacy String Start.
The Trap" was YOU not checking first.
I Sprung the trap on you.

Because once we get to mine, which are so WIDE/Hemispheric in nature, they are No longer just a tiny sample, and become more Valid.

Everything you post is Flaming/Fallacious Trash

Because once we get to mine, which are so WIDE/Hemispheric in nature, they are No longer just a tiny sample and far more Valid.

Read my latest thread and push ALL your chips into my pile!:lol:

As I said, Mine are Across the Whole Northern Hemisphere. Greenland, to Austria/Hungary, To China, to Japan/Korea.
Yours, including large-Sounding '1100' towns and cities are STILL All regional/"in one pile".


You just aren't up to this game logically. (that's the nicest way I'm allowed to say it)

Guess you missed the part about South America being in a deep freeze. Still you don't get it, none of this proves anything but you take it so serious it's just fun for me to keep poking you with the stick. :lol: I have to get going though, my diesel guzzling PU is loaded and I have to do an over niter to Portland to pick up a part for my evil tree murdering logging operation, sweet dreams.:2wave:

I'll be dollars to donuts that Sawyer doesnt realize its winter in South America right now. Of course, now I tipped him off, so denials will ensue. But if there was any poster here who didnt know.... I'd put my money on sawyer.

Beating the old Highest temperature Ever measured in Japan , 40.8C set in Yamagata Prefecture in 1933, by a full 0.2C!!!
 
Read my latest thread and push ALL your chips into my pile!:lol:
How many towns and cities do you think are in ... Japan (alone), Korea (alone), Eastern China (alone), Austria/Hungary, et al?
If you don't think it Buries your Clownish attempt, you don't know anything about Geography...
Ooops, of course you DON'T know anything about world geography or probably even your home state.

And of course mine are ALL-TIME/EVER high numbers, yours are SEASONAL low 'records'.

17 Dead, Thousands Hospitalized in Japan's Historic Heat Wave

17 Dead, Thousands Hospitalized in Japan's Historic Heat Wave - weather.com

The death toll is mounting and thousands have been hospitalized as an exceptional heat wave topples all-time temperature records in Japan.

According to data from Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency, 17 people died and 9,815 people were transported to hospitals due to heat-related illness during the week of Aug. 5-11 as the record heat expanded into Japan. Of those hospitalizations, 5,140 occurred over the weekend of Aug. 10-11 alone.

A new all-time national record high was reached Sunday....

Obviously you didn't read the link.

"Unprecedented Cold For South America This Week.” “Cold is coming. A lot!”
 
You're confusing a local/Urban event with what is Instead a large Regional Heat wave.

Is it?

"Heat wave" is a term that doesn't necessarily mean as implied.

Maybe it is an actual heat wave. Where were the winds coming from? Asia, where they have all that soot heating the atmosphere?

In other news, China's temperatures in places were the highest in 140 years.

Cycles happen, and heat islands intensify normal cycles. China has had the largest urban growth, so this makes sense that it's their highest temperature in 140 years.

Yes it is.

Urban warming would Of Course intensify any heat wave, and Shangai got toasty... but it was one. If not, it would not be a such a wide prounced event and would be near full-seasonal.
If not YOU are claiming urban/AGW as the immediate cause.

For the entire month of July and the first half of August, eastern China has been baking in a record-breaking heat wave. Nineteen provinces endured above-normal temperatures. Shanghai broke its all-time record high three times in as many weeks. The current record—40.8 degrees Celsius (105.4°F)—was set on August 7, 2013. At least 40 people have died during the heat wave, including ten in Shanghai, according to the Xinhua news service.

Here’s a NASA satellite image that shows temperature anomalies across China between August 5 and August 12, 2013. Red areas are warmer than the long-term average for the week, while cooler-than-average temperatures are blue.
