The Longest Heatwave Ever on This Day in History

 


This day in history: Starting on this day (October 31) in 1923 to April 7 1924, Marble Bar, Australia experienced 160 straight days of 100 degrees (or above) Fahrenheit, setting a world record of most consecutive days at such heat.

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the highest temperature ever recorded was 134.1 degrees Fahrenheit (56.7 °C) on 10 July 1913 in Furnace Creek (Greenland Ranch), California, United States, though some dispute this.

In 2019 Denver, Colorado, broke their all-time coldest low-temperature record for Halloween at 7 degrees Fahrenheit. The previous record was 10 F, set back in 1991.
