Description :
Forty-one years of data from 13 first-order National Weather Service stations in the southeastern United States were analyzed to determine the spatial variability in the frequency and duration of hours and days when temperatures were ≥32°C (high heat). Spatial analysis indicated that extreme high temperature characteristics from individual stations should not be combined into a regional or statewide average.
