https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/us-daily-record-highs-outnumber-lows-5-1-2010<snip>
As detailed in the caption above, Galveston, Texas, has set an amazing number of heat records in the last few years. Blogger Matt Lanza (@mattlanza) recently wondered if any other city in the U.S. has broken so many heat records in the same span of time (since 2010). I decided to follow that line of inquiry and researched 60 cities in the contiguous U.S. that have National Weather Service NOWData online records going back to at least 1895. In addition, I looked at six sites in Alaska and Hawaii as well, although only two (Juneau and Honolulu) have periods of record (PORs) dating back to 1895.
Methodology
I chose the 60 towns and cities based on their geographic distribution (more or less evenly spread across all geographic regions of the U.S.) and also for their periods of temperature record going back to at least 1895 in the NOWData files. I also made a point of including some small towns in significant geographical locations such as Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and Glasgow, Montana, thus minimizing the influence over time from urban heat islands (see below).
