Extreme temperatures

Hi Max, thanks for contacting me. As you have guessed, I am very interested in temperatures and records. I checked out your website (http://www.mherrera.org/temp.htm) and I have a few updates to make for Mumbai:

• Mumbai Airport should be renamed to "Mumbai (Santacruz)" or "Mumbai (Santacruz airport)" Santacruz is the key word here.
• Mumbai Downtown should be renamed as "Mumbai (Colaba)"

As these are official names of the two weather stations in the city.

• Extreme low recorded for Mumbai (Santacruz) -- 7.4 °C was on 22 January, 1962
• Extreme low recorded for Mumbai (Colaba) -- 11.7 °C was on 1 February, 1929

A low of 6.5 °C was recorded near Kanheri Caves on 8 February, 2008. As Kanheri lies within Mumbai city limits, it is the lowest recorded temperature available for the city.

Please could you update your records? Thanks =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I think Mumbai (Santacruz airport) should solve the problem. PS Santacruz is the domestic airport. As for the authenticity of the temperature record, I can deduce the following:

• Source
• And the fact that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has setup 30 weather stations around the city to monitor the weather 6.5C Source.
• From the above Mumbai Mirror article, the weather station at Tulsi Lake pumping station would be the closest to Kanheri Caves.
• I would assume that the weather stations set up by the BMC would adhere to meteorological guidelines.

If we count only above sea level elevations, then the world record holder is Mohenjo-daro, set this year at 53,5°C. Impressive. 77.38.44.85 (talk) 19:36, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Well, yes, user 77.38.44.85, the Moen Jo Daro station is synoptical and although not international ,it is of the same quality of the other Pakistani stations (which are generally very reliable). There is another case when a similar temperature might have been recorded above sea level, in 1998 when the iranian station of Deh Seyf at about 300m asl recorded 52.5C. The regional station Deh Seyf was changed (as many iranian stations) around 1993-1994 and its data has become more reliable after the new station was installed, but in this case the new station still has a precision of 0.5C, so we can still have some doubts about it. Some parts of nearby desert El Lut at lower elevations might have recorded a temperature around 53.5C-54.0C in that day and likely in other occasions.Unfortunately,El Lut lowest and not inhabited parts have no stations ,so we cannot be sure of the exact real potential of it, although its highest temperatures are likely similar to the ones of the Death Valley.

Libya

In another article on Wikipedia (List of weather records) it is stated that the highest recorded temperature is 57.8°C, in Libya. Your quoted maximum temperature ever recorded is much lower than this. Can you explain?

The record is obviously completely irregular, taken in a veranda with a alcohol thermometer over a basement of tarred asphalt. The real temperature was about 20C lower,since also an observation reading worsened the situation.. Obviously 58C under real standard is phisically impossible anywhere in the world, let alone in mid September where 50C have never been reached and it will never be reached anywhere in the planet. That s just a funny joke. The official highest temp. of Libya is 50.2C at Zuara, albeit for few minutes it is the only time in history 50C was recorded in Libya.

Good work

I read your article "Balconing" and noticed that idiot Paul being a complete arse. Anyways, something you said must have gotten through his thick head, because he just up and quit Wikipedia it would seem. I just wanted to say, good work on putting that bugger in his place. Dr. Caulder (talk) 04:20, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't know what happened to that Paul. But he used to judge other users very hastly, without spending time to do proper investigations. Anyway,I wish he will come back with a different attitude.MaXiMiLiAnO

Hello. I just wanna tell you that a very high temperature was recorded in Catamarca (Argentina) on 30th October 2009. The temperature reached to 47.0°C. There were a very very hot wave on the northwest of my country (Argentina), and i think we have never recorded a heat wave as extreme as this one. It´s a very interesting situation to analize. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezequiel15 (talk • contribs) 19:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Hallo my friend, yes, I am aware about that. You can see those records in http://www.mherrera.org/records.htm I have analyzed the Argentina's heat waves in the past 100/120 years and I might agree that of October 2009 could have been the most intense one, at least relative to that part of the country, which is the hottest part anyway. The old records of Rivadavia 49C and Villa de Maria 49.1C are surely unreliable, they were not taken with a Stevenson Screen,despite the lies and wrong information written by the WMO. Maximiliano.

Good to see you

I've seen links to your site often from wunderground.com, and from elsewhere when I've looked for climate records, and I'm glad to see you're also here on Wikipedia. —Soap— 12:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks buddy, I 'll do my best to give proper information to the public and fight bureocracy with good will and good work. Cheers. MaXiMiLiAnO 14:42, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Middle+Lower Yangtze heat wave

Coincidence that we arrived at the same source through web searches, eh? This heat wave is really ridiculous, but in terms of climatology, I think hardly anything can rival Washington, DC's (KDCA) streak over the past three years. Respectively, the three hottest summers were 2010, 2011, and 2012, and the three hottest July's (and months) 2011, 2012, and 2010, which tied with July 1993. The other all-time records I recall are highest daily minima and longest consecutive stretch ≥ 80 F at 138 hours this July, although, of course, in the area described in this subject header, such a lengthy stretch likely occurs annually.

Content license

Hi. I noticed your userpage under § Footnotes claims to be licensed under the GFDL. The fact it’s on Wikipedia means it’s licensed under a Creative Commons license. It can’t be under both licenses (or at least, you wouldn’t be able to enforce it), as the GFDL imposes restrictions that CC-BY-SA does not. So in the interest of not confusing people, I request that you remove that text. Or if you’re serious about using the GFDL, I recommend removing it from Wikipedia. Thanks. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 06:32, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

I was required to put that text by Wikipedia team years ago and now they force me to remove it. Confused.... The text , letter by letter was sent to me be a Wiki moderator or administrator (i don t remember now) and i was told to put it as it was. Ok,I have removed it. I will count the days before another one will come to tell me i have to put it again :-) MaXiMiLiAnO 07:10, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Weird, that doesn’t make any sense to me. I’ve never seen a userpage with its own license notice; it’s automatically added to the bottom of every page (previously GFDL, now CC-BY-SA). On behalf of whoever was confused enough to make you add it, I’m sorry. And I’m sorry I couldn’t help with the book tool ignoring tables; hopefully someone else will be able to. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 10:04, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Never mind. I have removed it. There was probably a kind of misunderstanding back few years ago. Cheers. MaXiMiLiAnO (talk) 10:09, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

You may want to get some more input on this, but if I’m not mistaken, your user subpages (particularly User:Maxcrc/disclaimer) appear to be tools for marketing yourself, and that’s a no-no. If you are using Wikipedia as a publishing platform, I urge you to stop and perhaps install the MediaWiki software on your own site. If I am mistaken, I deeply apologize for the misunderstanding. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 06:42, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

There is no market. They are informative pages, but I will adjust the Disclaimer in a way which doesn't generate misunderstandings. In fact, that SubPage is not even necessary and I might consider removing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxcrc (talk • contribs) 10:30, 15 January 2015‎

Central African Republic article moves

Hello Maximiliano. Thanks for moving the CAR election and referendum articles, but please remember to fix links on template and update the categories (i.e. Category:2015 elections in Africa → Category:2016 elections in Africa. when you do so. Plus linking years (e.g. 2016) is strongly discouraged. Also, the reference you added to the referendum article didn't state anything about the referendum being postponed, only the elections. Cheers, Number 57 13:46, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but the referendum date in the old Wikipedia page had already passed. So there is no doubt the referendum won't be held ....the day before yesterday. Thanks for the other suggestions. I had little time, so I 've just made the most important changes, pending more adjustments (with the help of other users).Cheers. MaXiMiLiAnO (talk) 17:01, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

By-elections in Solomon Islands

Hi. Thanks for adding dates to the by-elections. But the source you provided doesn't actually indicate those dates (unless I misread). Could you indicate specifically where you got them all from? Aridd (talk) 13:07, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

They are on the document between () check month/year. Also for Tuvalu, the date is CLEARLY INDICATED in the document. That wasn't a Parliamentary by-election, but a PM election (by members of the Parliament). There was NO PARLIAMENTARY BY-ELECTION that year. So, I 'd rather suggest to remove it from the list. It was already in the document with only the year and I added the correct date, but it shoulnd't really be there, since it was not a direct by-election

Indeed, that's what I was trying to explain to you: The election of the Prime Minister by Parliament does not count as a parliamentary by-election. OK; there's no source for there having been a by-election for Ionatane's replacement as MP for Funafuti (a role which is distinct from his function as PM), so it can removed. I assume the seat simply remained vacant until the 2002 general election.

Regarding the Solomon Islands: The webpage you mentioned first doesn't indicate any by-elections. It's about political parties in the 2010 general election. I don't understand what you mean by "on the document between () check month/year"; sorry. Also, it's a personal wordpress site, which wouldn't count as a reliable source under Wikipedia's sourcing guidelines… Your www.mherrera.org/elections.html website is a great resource, but… where did you get the information that you put into it? Aridd (talk) 15:49, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

OK; that's fine then. Thank you for including the information. :) Aridd (talk) 10:08, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and North Africa weather data

Hello mr. Herrera, i am following weather data for years and i still haven't figured out why wikipedia has such low standards for climate part of articles, especially when it comes to temperature extremes, such as station's monthly mins and maxs & absolute mins and maxs (usually in the shape of so called 'weatherdata box'). I wrote an extended opinion at Tamanrasset (talk) about the problematics since i find wikipedia standards in this area immeasurably low, abysmal. As you are an expert on this topics I would be grateful if you could read the opinion and gather some of your thoughts on this matter; and also if by any chance do you know if we are ever going to have wikipedia to be source of trust in climate department - as things stand now, climate part of wikipedia is next to unusable.
