The Washington Post Capital Weather Gang are constantly working to outdo themselves in the fake news climate hysteria department.
Their latest claim is that July was California’s hottest month ever recorded.
On fire: July was California’s hottest month ever recorded – The Washington Post
Average maximum temperatures in California this July weren’t in the top ten and were four degrees cooler than 1931.
The frequency of hot days wasn’t in the top ten either.
Minimum temperatures were the least cold, but most people don’t consider 64 degrees to be “hot.”
However, the warmth in minimum temperatures is most likely due to urban heat island effects around the thermometers, rather than climate.
But the junk science is worse than it seems. California’s two hottest stations do not have any data prior to 1940 in the GHCN database, so they need to be removed to do a fair comparison vs. 1931.
When Needles and Death Valley are removed, California’s July temperatures are dropping sharply and this year they are not much above average. July 2018 was five degrees cooler than in 1931.
This sort of nonsense is standard practice for the Capital Weather Gang, who claimed the Arctic was “super hot” on a day when temperatures made it up to 0°C for a few hours in a small region near the North Pole.

History and data do not support the climate change cause. The activists have a simple solution, ignore it.
The Washington Compost LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES their just as bad as the New York Pravda(Times)these fires are the results from the enviromentalists idiots and the rediculous enviromental ideologies Lets just lay the blame for fires on the Sierra Club
The fires around the entire state should influence the temperatures in CA at the recording stations. When will CA control the forest and undergrowth to help prevent more of the same with their rules and regulations?
