Wikipedia climate data questionable?

there is no "normal" in weather. you can have averages over a set period of time like 10 year average, or 100 year average. but when you start using the word normal to describe the weather you have crossed the line from science to propaganda. highdesertranger

The only normal in most of this lifestyle is change, best be prepared to deal with it.

We all wish that climate change would result in warmer winters, but alas, it is mostly the summers that have been heating up around the globe.

SE Arizona's high temps are strongly related to precipitation. The wetter and cloudier it is, the cooler the daytime highs will be.

I watched one of the youtubers driving from Phoenix to LA a couple of days ago, and it was 113F in Quartzsite and 118F outside of Palm Springs. Some fun.

Our average highs at home have been about 5-6 degrees warmer this summer.Every summer seems a little hotter.That's why we always go north in the camper for the summer.We may have to go to the arctic in a few more years.

"Our average highs at home have been about 5-6 degrees warmer this summer"

wow where is that at. here in So Cal we have been well below average all summer, we have only seen a couple 100° days. the Colorado River Valley has also been below average but there even below average is still hotter than hades.
