Bolivia tied its all-time hottest temperature mark on October 29, when the mercury hit 46.7°C (116.1°F) at Villamontes. This ties the record set in Villamontes on three other dates: November 9, 2007, November 1980, and December 1980.

The year 2010 now has the most national extreme heat records for a single year--nineteen. These nations comprise 20% of the total land area of Earth. This is the largest area of Earth's surface to experience all-time record high temperatures in any single year in the historical record. Looking back at the past decade, which was the hottest decade in the historical record, seventy-five counties set extreme hottest temperature records (33% of all countries.) For comparison, fifteen countries set extreme coldest temperature records over the past ten years (6% of all countries). My source for extreme weather records is the excellent book Extreme Weather by Chris Burt. His new updates (not yet published) remove a number of old disputed records. Keep in mind that the matter of determining extreme records is very difficult, and it is often a judgment call as to whether an old record is reliable or not. The World Meteorological Organization is currently in the process of contacting all nineteen of the nations I list here to see if the records can be officially verified.

if we wait a few more years the warmer climate might be moving to us.

It is like Spring here in late November.

year in Los Angeles. Summer was bracketed by very early and very last severe heat waves, but otherwise was about the coolest I can recall in 28 years of living here. And we had zero fall - it went immediately to January cold, in October and now November. I don't normally need to turn the heat on until December, but have used it intermittently for over a month. And night before last we broke the cold record for the date by 5F (it got down to 39F). Wednesday night is supplsed to get down to 29F. IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY. IN NOVEMBER.

Climate change = destabilization. And how!
