Record high temperatures for May
On July 6th, 2007, I posted for the first time on my blog the record high temperature for Peoria, Illinois for each day of the month of July with the year the record occurred. I began the post with this paragraph:
Anyone ever ask you, “Hot enough for you?” It seems like I hear that every summer. I was at a funeral recently. I can’t remember the age of the person but I think she was around 90 years of age. One of the individuals who talked about her life mentioned that she often talked about how hot it was in 1936. 1936? But global warming is a new phenomenon! How could it be hot in 1936?
I had a post for each month from July of 2007 through June of 2008. I stopped at June because I did not have the new figures for the second half of the year. I now have the figures for January through June. Therefore, I thought I would begin the process again.

The Peoria Journal Star on December 27, 2009, page S3 published “The Weather Month by Month.” According to the Peoria Journal Star, here are the record highs for Peoria for the month of May with the year of that record high.

May 30……. 98 ……. 1934*
May 31…... 104 ……. 1934*
For May:
01) The record high temperatures for May ranged from 104° to a low of 89°.
02) There was one high in the 80’s, twenty-nine highs in the 90’s and one high in the 100’s.
03) The most record high temperatures for a decade occurred in the 1890’s with ten in the decade.
04) The decades of the 1940’s, 1960’s, and 1990’s had no record high dates.
05) The 1930’s had five record high temperatures including four in 1934.
06) The 2000’s had one record high temperature.
07) The highest record high temperature of 104° occurred on May 31, 1934.
08) The lowest record high temperature of 89° occurred on May 1, 1901.
09) There were 18 record high temperatures from the 1880’s through the 1910’s and 28 record high temperatures from the 1880’s through the 1950’s.
The 1930’s has increased its lead! In January, the 2000’s led the 1930’s by a 2 to 1 margin. The 1930’s from January through February had 10 record high temperatures. The 2000’s had five. The 1930’s had one more record high temperature in March giving the 1930’s a total of 11 for the first three months of the year. The 2000’s added four more record high temperatures to its previous total of five increasing its three month total to nine just two less than the eleven of the 1930’s. Both the 1930’s and the 2000’s had four more record high temperatures in April. So, the totals through April were 15 record high temperatures for the 1930’s through the first four months of the year and 13 record high temperatures for the 2000’s through the first four months of the year. Things are changing. With the addition of five record highs, the 1930’s now has 20 record high temperatures through May while the 2000’s, with only one additional, now has 14 highs. The 1930’s now lead by 6. The race continues! Who will win out? It must be “Al Gore’s” global warming—or not!
This is what the Bible says about our climate: “Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: ‘Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.’” Genesis 8: 20-22 (NIV)
As I’ve said before, no human can accurately predict what the weather is going to be like 50 years from today. We have difficulty predicting with 100% accuracy what the weather is going to be like seven days from now. This I do know. If GOD wants global warming as predicted by the “Al Gore gang” to occur, there is NOTHING man can do to stop it. If GOD doesn’t want global warming to occur, it won’t, no matter what man does. Of course, GOD could always let man proceed as they choose without HIS hand in it either way. I don’t know what will occur 50 years from now and NEITHER DOES any other human on this planet!
This I also know. If I were living a life of SIN, I’d be more concerned about what GOD will do today and tomorrow or what will happen to me after my death (none of us has a guarantee that we will live another fifty years) than what is going to occur in another 50 years!!!
