No massive extreme ranges in NZ, as would be expected with it's Oceanic climate, but still a handful of places greater than 55C, with Ranfurly topping out at 59.3C.
Greatest sea level range is Timaru at 51C. Greatest range in my region, is Jordan at 53C, which while at low altitude(37m) is 25km inland, so not coastal.
The more I drive around Houston, the more I find that this freeze wasn't as damaging as expected. Bismarkia palms survived out in places of the metro that reached teens, topless of low 20s, without any appreciable damage. Consider that such plants like hot, humid summers, and, thus, get very established fast, allowing for occasional winter cold to be ridden out; I am starting to see why people "zone push."
Upcoming weather will be monitored periodically. In the meantime, for the reasonable future, coconut-weather resumes.
Rofl! I've said it before and I'll say it again: Zone 10 plants like Coconuts do not belong in Houston. If you want to see nice lush tropical foliage, move to Miami. All you'll see in Houston are dead plants.
I hope Houston sees a fourth freeze this season just to smite you!

Record high: 37.5 °C
Record low: -25.6 °C
Difference: 63.1 °C
If you're talking about the mean maximum and minimum, I don't know, Wunderground data is very scarce for cities in South America.
Im talking about extremes according to record highs and record lows,you posted the corret stats,as I suspected,the Patagonian plateau is the most prone region to thoses extremes here in Southern Hemisphere.

He is a complete idiot & obviously as clueless about palms as he is about the climate of the US south. It can take months for palms to show damage from cold, palms that look fine now can be dead by the summer...

I agree that coconuts doesnt thrive in Houston but that doesnt means that all the plants there need to be deciduous,exists a lot of evergreens who can survive well there,inclusive some palm trees.

I thought that South America would have been able to crack the 70C mark. It's barely more than NZ or Australia.
How about the difference between the coldest monthly minimum, and warmest monthly maximum? Coldest I can find for NZ, is Moa Creek at -4.6C in July, to 22.8C in January, for a 27.4C difference.

1: Remember,they still are located in the oceanic Southern Hemisphere,63C difference is great.
Hmm. I never knew you didn't know that that kind of climate exists in your neighbouring country. And where do you think the Gulf Stream "ends"? It just vanishes after Narvik?
Are you surprised also if I say that Murmansk is an ice-free harbour?

Overreaction
I just thought the outlying climates that far east resembled Kirkenes a bit more and had a little colder winters than Vardö has.
I had thought that coastline was more like -3/-9 or -4/-10 in winter rather than -2/-7.
Average high in January: 34.6 °C
Average low in July: 1.1 °C
Difference: 33.5 °C
