We can have a 40 C change in temperatures during a single day during the winter, in fact you can walk along with a Chinook wind and step in and out of the warmth.

Also the seasonal lag it's had recently is just insane: the coldest month last winter was April, followed by March
It's been raining in Longyearbyen.

126°F (52°C) is more like it on a record hot day, but most days I'd imagine are between 100 and 115, and that's in the low-elevation parts.
Nobody said it was 160F. Read the post again.

160f in direct sunlight is perfectly reasonable in a hot desert climate.

Harbin has very rough winters for the latitude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbin#Climate Comodoro Rivadavia's winters at the same latitude are like 22-23c warmer

The winters aren't as bad as eastern China/Russia, but overall this is a disgusting climate considering the latitude, without even decent summers to make up for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibougamau#Climate

Even 126, however, would be very hard to believe, considering not even Phoenix has a record high that high. It proves my point again: weather is something only we regulars "get".

To be fair, he lives in Bullhead City, which is the hottest place in Arizona in the summer, and Needles, CA right across the river has an all time record of 125°F set this year
