Important Notes:

The source of the historical data here is the NCDC GSOD (updated through 2016 as of 16 January 2017).
The records are defined here using GMT, with the day resetting at 00GMT (7PM EST;8PM EDT).
These records are NOT official and differ from official records that use a longer database and local (not GMT) time.
Only cities having an NCDC GSOD recorded history of at least 35 years are shown here.
With the additional year of data available (2016), 284 new stations (for a total of 3287) now meet the 35 year minimum record.
Of the now 1.2 million daily extremes in the database, approximately 70,000 were set in 2016 (~ 6%).
Note that given the relatively short record used here (as small as 35 years), records will almost assuredly be set somewhere every day for the next several decades to centuries.
Appreciation to R. Maue, among several others, for feedback.
