> close to the equator The peak anomaly was in Vicuña, Chile, at -30°Lat - i.e. Puerto Alegre, Maseru, Perth-Brisbane. Symmetrically, that would be Houston, Cairo, Delhi, Shanghai... The tropic of Capricorn is at -23.4°Lat. The peak anomaly is well below the tropic. And Buenos Aires (where the other biggest anomaly was) is several degrees further south. Update: > But Buenos Aires is only 5°C hotter I think it refers to the previous highest record well over one century ago. It says, > Buenos Aires set a daily record for the start of August with its high of 30.1C - more than 5 degrees above the previous daily record, and 12C warmer than its August average (BTW: Wikipedia does not agree with those records in the "Climate data" table, but anyway.)
