Welcome to the userpage of Maximiliano Herrera. I am a professional climatologist and I contributed to add and correct data in related Wikipedia documents. In this userpage you will find some of my current works and projects.
WORLD CITIES RECORD TEMPERATURES
Here there is a collection of world extreme temperatures, after extensive quality checks on daily and hourly basis of all weather stations in the world, which has been integrated by data and observations of the old mechanic stations since 1654.

NATIONAL AND CONTINENTAL TEMPERATURE RECORDS
[edit]Down here you will find the extreme temperatures recorded in some countries with dates attached (when available). Data has been checked and all faulty and unreliable records have been removed. See the footnotes for important explanations regarding those records. When the precision of a temperature was taken or is available only to the nearest degree, the data is reported in these tables as such, for example a of 20°C is reported as "20°C" without decimals.

Footnotes
[edit]- ^ [1] Official Italian record validated by SIAS.
- ^ 56.7C-134F recorded at Greenland Ranch in July 1913 is unreliable.
- ^ There are unofficial lowest temperatures as low as the -44C recorded at Veladero, Argentina, in July 2004 at high elevation.
- ^ Temperatures as low as -93C have been extrapolated in the western area of Vostok between 20 and 21 July 1983.Claims of a temperature of -91C in 1997 at the same location are not confirmed.
- ^ Important notes:Signy Island is located just below the 60 degree of latitude, which includes it under the Antarctic Treaty,so this can be considered the POLITICAL record. If we consider the GEOLOGICAL case,King Edward Point,in the South Georgia Island, lies in the Antarctic plate and has a highest temperature of 28.8C on 10 March 1922. In the other hand, the highest temperature recorded in MAINLAND Antarctica (Continent+Peninsula) is 18.4C at Base Esperanza on 6 February 2020,while the highest temperature recorded in CONTINENTAL Antarctica (outside the Peninsula) is 15.0C at Vanda Station on 5 January 1974. For the ASTRONOMICAL case, highest reliable temperature ever recorded in the Antarctic Polar Circle would also be that of Vanda Station.
