Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method for calculating warm (cold) temperature extremes during the warmest (coldest) month of the year was developed. Regression analyses were performed for warm (cold) temperature versus an index calculated from a station's monthly mean temperature and mean daily range. Correlation for these regression lines ranges from 0.974 to 0.995. Warm and cold indices, calculated for approximately 2000 Northern Hemisphere stations, were plotted and analyzed. The resulting Northern Hemisphere maps of the 1-, 5-, and 10-percent warm temperatures, and the 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-percent cold temperatures for the warmest (coldest) month are presented.
