| | Temperature extreme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Additionally, only temperatures recorded four feet (1.2 metres) or higher above the ground, and in the shade, are admissible, as ground temperatures in many areas are much hotter than air temperatures. | | | As extreme points, they provide a range of typical temperatures in that locale. | | | One inch above the ground, temperatures can exceed 90 degrees Celsius (194 °Fahrenheit) in the deserts. |

| | Climate of North Dakota |
| | The summer temperature patterns for June, July and August are nearly identical featuring strong north-south ridges of warm temperatures in the central part of the state and on the eastern and western borders with cooler north-south troughs between the ridges (Figure 8, 9, 10). | | | Temperatures of 32° F or lower are measured on about 180 days in the extreme southeast and extreme west central, and on about 210 days at some locations along the Canadian border (Figure 20). | | | Temperatures along the western border of the state average near 58° F, but in the Red River Valley in the east, temperatures range from 56° F in the north to 62° F in the south. |

| | Effects of water and temperature stress on soybean plant growth and yield in humid, temperature climates. | | | For temperature in the site studies, the absolute differences between the GCM-modeled mean monthly temperature in the scenario with greenhouse gas forcing and the GCM modeled climate without forcing (often referred to as the control scenario) were calculated. | | | Increased variability of temperature or precipitation resulted in substantially lower mean simulated yields, while decreased variability of temperature produced insignificantly small increases in yield. |

| | First, the relationship between temperature and mortality risk from cardio-vascular, respiratory, and other diseases was estimated for each city; then the variation in risk across cities, due to difference in latitude and other variables, was examined. | | | Southern cities were more vulnerable to cold temperatures, showing a larger increase in mortality risk for temperatures less than the minimum mortality temperature threshold. | | | Results indicate the Northern cities were more sensitive to heat, showing a larger increase in mortality risk for temperatures greater than the minimum mortality temperature threshold. |

| | * Cold temperature extremes will almost certainly become less frequent; | | | For temperature, these values mean that future changes in global-mean temperatures will be 2 to 7 times more rapid than those of the 20th century and that rises in sea level will occur at rates 1 to 7 times those of the 20th century. | | | For all extreme events, however, it is unlikely that the projected changes will become evident in a statistically convincing way for many decades, with the exception of temperature extremes, which should become evident sooner. |
