If so, calendar years through would be the seven warmest years on record. These odds are based on statistical relationships rather than unfolding weather and climate events. Global ocean temperatures during August were the second-warmest on record, and global land temperatures the third-warmest on record.
Global satellite-measured temperatures in August for the lowest eight kilometers of the atmosphere were the third-warmest or warmest in the year record, according to the University of Alabama Huntsville and Remote Sensing Systems, respectively. For the Northern Hemisphere, the three-month summer period of June, July, and August ranked as the warmest summer on record. The Caribbean region had its second-warmest summer on record, and North America and the globe as a whole, their third-warmest.
Death Valley, California, hit an astonishing However, the official world record will remain a degrees Fahrenheit measurement taken at Death Valley on July 10, , a record widely viewed as bogus. Climatologist William Reid, an expert on Death Valley meteorology who has written extensively about the old bogus degree record, wrote that his early thinking is that the degree reading on August 16 was authentic, but he cautioned that an increase in vegetation and structures built in the vicinity of the Furnace Creek site in recent decades has allowed the station to record hotter temperatures.
Since the station is above a bare and sandy surface, hot air along the ground during afternoon sunshine is less effectively mixed away from the instrumentation. A day that hits degrees today probably would have only been as high as degrees before Eight billion-dollar weather-related disasters hit the Earth last month, according to the August Catastrophe Report from insurance broker Aon.
Details on each of those eight events follow. China — Torrential downpours continued to affect China in August, killing 92 people and damaging or destroying , houses. According to statistics from EM-DAT, the international disaster database, this ranks as the third-most expensive non-U.
The study predicted that each additional 0. Hagupit also impacted Taipei in northern Taiwan where nearly 2, houses were damaged and one person was killed. Isaias brought widespread wind and flood damage from the Carolinas into New England and spawned at least 39 confirmed tornadoes, including a deadly EF3 in North Carolina. At least 6. Total economic losses in the continental U.
Catastrophic impacts occurred in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes — including the City of Lake Charles — due to wind gusts over mph, storm surge, and inland flooding.
For reference, on July 31 , the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 4. The highest daily average wind speed during August is 4. Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents.
Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The highest average daily incident shortwave solar energy during August is 6. Within 10 miles contains large variations in elevation 5, feet. Within 50 miles also contains extreme variations in elevation 13, feet. Please note that the station records themselves may additionally have been back-filled using other nearby stations or the MERRA-2 reanalysis.

The average rainfall in August is 10mm spread out over just one day, meaning that it virtually never rains in Athens this month. Same as in July. The drop-off in the amount of daily sunshine does not affect the temperature of the sea however. Water at this temperature is considered comfortable and warm by all, regardless of the duration. Warm outside temperatures and warm sea water make August an extremely popular time to visit beaches near Athens.
Although Athens is relatively not humid year-round, the humidity levels in August drop to the lowest of the year. Tony's Hotel offers a variety of rooms singles through quadruples and studios that are setup apartment-style.
