The temperature says 100 degrees farenheit is 40 degrees celsius - I do not think that is correct. It should be 38 but looks like it has been entered with a formula. In the article for "heat wave" the conversion is mentioned several times to be 38 degrees celsius. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.244.190.66 (talk) 08:02, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The claim『most consecutive days of 100 °F』worldwide is provably incorrect. From personal communication with M. Herrera, the well known weather extremes researcher, I know that the world record is held by Makkah and is 227 consecutive days (31 March 2010 to 12 November 2010). The duration of 227 consecutive days is way above the 160 days claimed here and can be checked here: http://www.meteomanz.com/sy2?l=1&cou=2024&ind=41030&d1=28&m1=03&y1=2010&d2=26&m2=04&y2=2010 (change d1, m1, d2 and m2 to look at the following dates in 30-day-blocks). In the daily overview an erroneous max of only 33.2 is reported for 10 October 2010, while the 3-hourly-data show that the max was at least 42 C that day: http://www.meteomanz.com/sy1?ty=hp&ind=41030&y1=2010&m1=10&d1=10&y2=2010&m2=10&d2=10 Other locations also have more than 160 consecutive days with at least 100F (e.g. Mitribah, Kuwait, in 2012). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.200.3 (talk) 13:11, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
