Yeah, I kind of hate all these articles spouting off ground temp. The ground temp at furnace creek, NV, which the world record air temp is held (53C), is 94C.

The ground temp at furnace creek, NV, which the world record air temp is held (53C), is 94C. It's not really fair to conflate the two ideas.
- beerandt 5y agoIn a competition to report the highest, most sensational number, expect these misleading media comparisons to continue. BTW, today's high at my house was 350F for 11-13 mins. Reporting surface temps makes just about as much sense.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoDoes Furnace Creek has permanent permafrost? If so, an historically high surface temperature is very significant.
- xeromal 5y agoNot saying it ain't. I'm saying that should be clarified because people will assume air temperature unless its specified. The title was clarified so now there will not be confusion.
