      Okay.

      I guess they go against their own definition of MAX.

      Definition of Terms in Climate Tables (F6)
      Highest temperature in °F during the 24hrs from midnight to midnight standard time.
      If they really do mean standard time, then converting 12:42am CDT to 11:42pm CST would move the 102 degrees to the previous day.
      Yes, I believe that is the explanation. Some time they do give in Eastern (why? ). If you look at the daily climate report for June 8 you get:

          We will be returning to the 100's for a while.

            The 10 day shows a couple of 99 and 98 days but I'd be shocked if we're not over 100 this weekend and all next week. The sign outside is currently reading 105.

              107 right now in Hutch. I often hop on my motorcycle to go to lunch. Today is the first day I actually broke out in a sweat on the way back to work.

                    It's down to 107. Maybe by 5 it will be down to a chilly 103! A man can have hope!

                          KWCH 12 news had Wichita at 22 Days today.

                          I don't know what number they are using, but you seem to be using the official NWS numbers correct?


                          That heatburst has everyone a little wacked out.
                          The mountains are calling, and I must go.

                            Yes. I am using only NWS numbers from Mid-Continent.

                            I really think that whoever wrote the story for KWCH might have gotten lazy with their research.

                              Interestingly the humidity drops a bunch b/t Kingman and Pratt.

                              In Kingman the heat index adds several degrees.

                              In Pratt, the "feels like" temperature is less than the actualy b/c it is so dry.

                              Yes, I am a data nerd, including temperatures.

                                Their own news article says 22 days, yet their data says 21, last a I checked.
