So far, we have:
Barrow, Alaska (pop. 3,982 - 4,683) with a record high temperature of 79° F
Leadville, Colorado (pop. 2,688 - 2,821) with a record high temperature of 85° F
Eureka, California (pop. 26,128) with a record high temperature of 87° F
Barrow, AK is definitely in the middle of nowhere... google images look so empty. Barrow, AK - Google Search
Other two are unknown. Kind of surprised that all of these cities are located on the left half of the country. I wonder if there are any with a record high lower than 87/90° F on the opposite side of the country.
Thank you for the data guys. Very interesting!
Well if you count Alaska, much of the places along the coast don't record temperatures above 86°F either.
So would anywhere above 10000 ft. in the West, though only Colorado has a town that high but California has a number of stations, though no one would live in such a place
Location: The western periphery of Terra Australis

What about Aberdeen, Washington, or Port Angeles, Washington? Or anywhere along the coast there.
Interestingly, George Town on the north coast of Tasmania has a record high of just 29.5C (about 85F) which has to be one of the lowest extreme maximiums at sea level in Oz. Every south Tasmanian station I've seen has recorded higher than that.

Record for Aberdeen, WA is 105°F, possibly higher than where I am. Not many mountains blocking inland air there. Port Angeles is 94°F.
Adak, Alaska's record high is 75 F in August 1956.
Small town of 326 now, but used to have over 4,000 in the 1980s and 1990s.
That beats Barrow, AK by 4 F.
That's boiling compared to what the folks on Saint Paul Island, Alaska are used to. According to The Weather Channel, that island's all-time record high is 66F, set in 1987. And yes, it's inhabited by 479 people as of the 2010 census.
I'm pretty sure this is the lowest all-time record high of any inhabited site in the United States (and possibly any weather station). For perspective, most of the lower 48 has highs in excess of 66F for the entire summer, and most of the lower 48 averages >80F for summer highs.
