July 1936 Once Again Hottest

July 1936 is once again the hottest month on record according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Two years ago it declared July 2012 to have supplanted it.

The change was discovered Sunday, June 28, during a check of NOAA data by climate blogger Anthony Watts.

“The past, present, and future all seems to be ‘adjustable’ in NOAA’s world,” Watts said.

The NOAA had July 2012 at 77.6 degrees Fahrenheit and July 1936 at 77.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

The new figures show July 1936 to be 76.8 F and July 2012 to be 76.77 F.

The change was made about a week after climate blogger Steven Goddard  revealed that the NOAA was discounting contemporaneous records and using computer estimates.
