Yeah, but if you read the posts on this forum you would think the past three years are representative of the overall climate, lol.

Austin's (KATT) warmest temperature this year was reached on March 14th and 15th, not being matched again until June 7-9.

It's not too unusual in TX, in fact, San Antonio has reached 100F (38C) in February before: the strong low-latitude sun coupled with dry winter air will allow late-winter temps to skyrocket and exceed 30C on occasion.

The area around Coyhaique in Chile gets the closest to what you can get in a continental winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The city has 53,715 inhabitants. This is July 4, 2015.

I guess this would be the best place to post these vids. A gust front approaching the beach on a stormy day at Camber Sands a couple of years ago. It gets very windy and very dark!

Fort Vermillion, AB, Canada has an all-time temperature range of 179F (99C), that's the highest in the world outside of Siberia and cracks the top five all-time even if we include Siberia. As far as I know, the other four are:

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verkhoyansk#Climate
2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakutsk#Climate
3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oymyakon#Climate
4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Vermilion#Climate
5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Y...Alaska#Climate

In the continental US, the record presumably belongs to :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Pass_%28Montana%29

Maybe someone can correct me if any of the above are wrong...

In the US, the coldest month ever recorded was in Fort Yukon, Alaska in January of 1917.

The average high was -40F (-40C) and the average low was -58F (-50C).

In recent years January 2012 came quite close to this in certain places (within 10F / 6C).

Until 1971, Fort Yukon also held the all-time lowest temperature record at −78 °F or −61.1 °C, and it still holds the record for the lowest mean monthly temperature when the notoriously cold month of December 1917 had an average daily temperature of −48.3 °F or −44.6 °C and the minimum averaged −58 °F or −50 °C.[10]

Fort Yukon also holds the record for the warmest temperature ever recorded in Alaska at 100 degrees F. This is the same as Hawaii's record.

What is North America's widest temperature range for record highs above 40 °C? My hint would be Regina, Saskatchewan.

Record Low: -50.0 °C
Record High: +43.3 °C
Range: 93.3 °C

Very few places in BC have ever been 40 degrees, so you won't find the record here, though Valemount varies by almost 92 degrees C (40.6C to -51.2C). As far as I know that's the only place in BC that has been above 40C and below -50C. The record is probably in Saskatchewan.
