Important Notes:

The source of the historical data here is the NCDC GSOD.
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 time.
Only cities having an NCDC GSOD recorded history of at least 35 years are shown here.
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.
