Can't find a record?

When weather observation stations are moved, they typically take on a new name and new identification. This is necessary for ensuring the accuracy and validity of historical records. However, it also can make it difficult to find records for your location, since each city could have multiple stations with different periods of record, in different locations. Record Extremes contains all historical records from the National Climatic Data Center, and are shown on a "station ID" basis. A missing record means that in that station's lifetime, it didn't have the opportunity to record the location's record extreme.

F-5/EF-5’s and The World’s Deadliest Tornadoes

The recent catastrophic EF-5 tornado in Oklahoma has prompted me to revisit a blog I posted in April 2011 (ironically that blog was posted just two weeks prior to the deadly tornado outbreak on April 27-28 of that year). This blog updates the lists of all known F-5 and EF-5 tornadoes and other statistics concerning the deadliest tornadoes on record in U.S. and world history.

Extreme Weather Whiplash: 106° in Iowa on the Heels of Record May Snows
By Dr. Jeff Masters
