The sun’s energy is reflected or bounced off the surface of Earth. (OSU, 2010)

Higher albedo surfaces reflect more "heat."

The term “global warming” means the temperature is getting warmer everywhere.

There are several ways to describe Extreme heat based on the average temperature ranges and extended periods of higher temperatures. Humidity can also play a role, but it will not be included  in this assignment.

(1) Which YEAR had the greatest number of days with a high temperature 10 above average?
(2) Which YEAR had the most periods (5 or more consecutive days) in which the temperature was above average?
(3) Which YEAR had the longest period (most consecutive days) in which the temperature was above average?
