RECORD EVENT REPORT...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY FL 823 AM EDT FRI OCT 5 2018
...ADJUSTED HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR SEPTEMBER 29 THROUGH OCTOBER 2...
AFTER FURTHER ANALYSIS THE RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES REPORTED ON SEPTEMBER 29 THROUGH OCTOBER 2 HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED.
THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR SEPTEMBER 29 WAS 94 DEGREES WHICH BROKE THE OLD RECORD FOR THE DAY OF 93 DEGREES LAST SET IN 2002.
THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR SEPTEMBER 30 WAS 94 DEGREES WHICH BROKE THE OLD RECORD FOR THE DAY OF 93 DEGREES LAST SET IN 2005.
THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR OCTOBER 1 WAS 93 DEGREES WHICH DID NOT SET A NEW RECORD FOR THE DAY. THE RECORD OF 94 DEGREES SET IN 2017 IS STILL VALID.
THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR OCTOBER 2 WAS 92 DEGREES WHICH DID NOT SET A NEW RECORD FOR THE DAY. THE RECORD OF 93 DEGREES LAST SET IN 1986 IS STILL VALID.
The above statement coming from the National Weather Service office serving the Tampa Bay area ([1], under "Record Event Report" for October 5, 2018). These temperature adjustments, downward, mean the all-time record high temperatures for September and October are as they were before September 29, and are therefore being readjusted back to their old values. Previously, the NWS reported high temperatures of 97 on September 29 and 30, and 96 on October 1 and 2. MPFitz1968 (talk) 09:39, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Of note, Tampa's average temperature for the month of September was originally reported to be not only the warmest September, but also the warmest month that the city has ever had, at 85.9 degrees. The adjustments to the high temperatures for the last two days of the month brought the average down to 85.8, but didn't change the fact that it was the city's warmest September/month on record.

Random data sets
[edit]2020 normals added to many pages but not all the data. The average dewpoint is certainly over 62 now but that has not changed. The ncei noaa normals site I've seen does not include the full chart info like sunshine and dewpoint. B137 (talk) 14:43, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
