When you hear "hottest weather for 100 yeara"....

I have a problem with this same question every time an all time record gets smashed. Usually something like :

” Hottest day in over 100 years” is the headline.

When in fact the POR is say , 134 years, and no temp was ever as high as the one that was just set.

These days it’s safe to assume that when a record get’s broken , it’s because the record stops. Not that it was hotter 134 years ago.
