Converted to simple line graph form, most of the reporting stations demonstrate an undulating pattern with an apex in the early 1930's and a nadir from mid 1950's to mid-60's followed by a second apex in 2012 with several smaller oscillations in between. There are several notable exceptions to this pattern including NYC Central Park; Washington D.C.; Miami
Florida; Los Vegas, NV; College Station, TX; and Los Angeles which all record an undulating trend upward of 3 to 5 degrees (f) warmer. In sharp contrast to Washington DC Baltimore, MD, 35 miles to the north does not. And likewise Albany, NY compared to NYC.

This main article puts focus on historical high daily temperatures, which in itself is very instructive, but focusing my extensive analysis of NWS "past weather" data back as far as records were kept, the oldest I found was 1869 for both
Madison, WI and NYC Central Park, and a score or more in the

You are correct pointing out that we can not assume all of North
America experienced the same weather as the United States. But it has been my experience so far, that historical records for other parts of the world are not available except for the small area of Central England. See

This page needs some serious editing.. but summer 1936 still stands as the most significant heat wave in North
