erik1974 Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I just recently found out(via XM-ACIS) that Ben Lomond, CA reached a mind-blowing 119 degrees on 9/2/2017. It was also 106 at San Fran(Downtown) and 110 in Santa Cruz on the previous day. Both of these cities reached all-time record highs, but the Ben Lomond station has always seemed a little bit suspect to me. It has also allegedly reached 112 on 10/2/2012 and 10/8/1996. If these readings are indeed legitimate, this town would hold the highest September and October readings outside of the desert southwest!! Absolutely amazing if true. I still do find it hard to believe that this unassuming town(climate wise) could possibly pull off such feats. Any thoughts on the matter will be greatly appreciated.

erik1974 Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 The previous all-time high for this station was 113 degrees on 7/15/1972. That one certainly appears legit even though it is missing from the WRCC climate table. There are a couple different stations there dating back to 1937 or so. The previous station ran from 1937-65 and it appears quite a bit a cooler than the current station which runs from 1972-Present. It could be overexposed or not. Just trying to clarify a confusing situation... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
