This guy is awesome with his maps.

Highest summer 2015 heat index and lowest wind chill last winter – plus range.



Lowest wind chill last winter. Yup, I was -20 to -30



Range. Gotta love ND and that area. Or that spot in Iowa. Wow. I am in 110-120



Map showing greatest summer dewpoint from ASOS obs. Nearly 400 stations had 80°-82° DP

The international airports in Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, Memphis did not report an 80+ dewpoint this summer. That shading seems unrealistically broad.

Quick check I see Savannah got to 79F 7/21/15 so maybe they did hit 80 with another source?

And yeah, its hard to color a map when we dont have enough data to plot..especially if you dont know the area.

I guess that would feel close enough anyway...

The Hunter Army Airfield usually reads higher, maybe inaccurate.

Anyways, I was curious as to how it's calculated. It's explained in the video below, but the point system seems kind of arbitrary. It's mainly based on max temp, min temp, snow fall, and snow depth for each day. Too lazy to watch entire thing.

At 9:05 is the chart/explanation of point gathering:

Wow to that video!! Nice find! I need to find time to watch it all. Damn. And yeah, our previous winter was definitely more severe than normal..in fact near extreme but in comparison it was like northern New England. Which I can get used to. lol

Here's the same average map but shaded.
