what does the "world temperature index" represent?
352237
The instrumental record of surface temperature change is based on a combination of land air, marine air, and ocean surface temperature changes recorded over roughly the past century and a half.

Average over the whole planet, over the whole year: -67 deg F\nExtremes: -207 deg F, 80 deg F

10° 8' N; 84° 7' W\nhopefully you'll know what that means, cuz I dont :P

Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. The term is also used for the more specific scientific theory of anthropogenic global warming, which states that much of the recent observed (and projected) global warming is human-induced and the result of a strengthened greenhouse effect caused by man-made increases in carbon dioxide (through the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation) and other greenhouse gases. The natural greenhouse effect keeps the Earth 30 °C warmer than it otherwise would be; adding carbon dioxide to an atmosphere, with no other changes, will make a planet's surface warmer. Current research tries to uncover more details, e.g. about positive and negative feedback mechanisms, to allow a more precise quantification of the effect.

It's much warmer now, all over the world, due to Global Warming...(other signs: earlier arrival of spring, heat waves, spreading of disease, etc.) Check out this web site below.

None.\n\nCalories are a measure of the heat content of objects.  If you are referring to the amount of heat radiated by the earth, it would be stated in some unit appropriate to the measure of radiant energy, such as watts or newtons per second.\n\nYou may be able to find an answer by visiting the library or using the internet.

Barometer for air pressure, Anemometer for wind speed, precipitation gauge for rainfall (I think) - can't remember the name of the globe thingy for hours sunlight...oh, and of course, thermometers for max & min temperature & %age humidity

check this out.....it gives u all the temperatures for each major city in Ukraine.\nIt's very helpful!

32° F is equal to 0° C\n°F = °C × 1.8 + 32\n°C = (°F – 32) / 1.8\n\nThe Celsius scale is the world's most commonly used temperature scale. It has been adopted by virtually all the countries of the world, with the notable exceptions of the United States of America and Jamaica. In broadcast media it was still frequently referred to as centigrade until the late 1980s or early 1990s, particularly by weather forecasters on European networks such as the BBC, ITV, and RTÉ. In the United States and Jamaica, Fahrenheit remains the preferred scale for everyday temperature measurement, although Celsius or kelvin is used for aeronautical and scientific applications.

Climate is a TYPICAL WEATHER in a REGION,\nwhile\nWeather is merely the state of Atmosphere.\n\nYou can say about the climate in Australia, but if you say about the weather, it only refers to the state of atmosphere on a particular day.\n\nClimate change is when the typical weather in a region experiences changes, usually something that might bring danger. For example, global warming, in which the region becomes hotter, may cause the glaciers in the North Pole to melt.

Temperature is a physical property of a system that underlies the common notions of hot and cold; something that is hotter has the greater temperature.\n\nThe degree Celsius is also a unit increment of temperature for use in indicating a temperature interval (a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). “Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701 – 1744), who first proposed a similar system two years before his death. \n\nFahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the German physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), who proposed it in 1724.

From what I've heard, it refers to the fact that the weather is what is causing you to feel poorly.\n\nThis site is a bit more informative, though.

It's the actual temperature with humidity, wind chill factor (if applicable), dew point and other conditions taken into consideration. There's actually a mathematical equation to figure it out but it may be hard to find since the calculations are done by computers these days.

If you are talking about world weather, then el nino is a sudden change of temperature that raises the global climate by a couple of degrees which then alters many other natural occurances, and a small one would be when it only raises about 2-5 degrees.......and well if it is spanish then it just means small little child

If you perform a spectral analysis on the data you will see interesting details involving peaks and valleys pertaining to very low frequencies (these are periodicities in multiple years - even hundreds of years given enough data). So yes, the temperature at one point in time is related to the temperature at another, otherwise we will have a flat or horizontal spectra with no peaks and valleys.\n\nThis does not tel us about causality however...

weather.com might have some kind of database that lists this.  I know they show the record temps when I check my local forecast.  So, just search for the place you are curious about.\nEdit: Actually, I just looked.  Click on the "Averages" tab, and you get this graph.  Then, there's little checkboxes for record highs and record lows.  if you click that, the temps show up on the graph.

Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. The term is also used for the scientific theory of anthropogenic global warming, which attributes much of the recently observed and projected global warming to a human-induced intensification of the greenhouse effect. On this theory, the increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released mainly by the burning of fossil fuels, and, to a lesser extent, land clearing and agriculture, are the primary sources of warming. The natural greenhouse effect keeps the Earth 30 °C warmer than it otherwise would be; adding carbon dioxide to an atmosphere, with no other changes, will make a planet's surface warmer. Current research is attempting to find out more details about the processes and factors that would affect a temperature increase especially about positive and negative feedback mechanisms, to allow a more precise quantification of the effects of global warming.\n\nTemperature change is just one aspect of the broader subject of (human-induced) climate change. The scientific opinion on climate change, as expressed by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and explicitly endorsed by the national science academies of the G8 nations, is that the average global temperature has risen 0.6 ± 0.2 °C since the late 19th century, and that it is likely that "most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities" [1]. A small minority of qualified scientists contest the view that humanity's actions have played a significant role in increasing recent temperatures. Uncertainties do exist regarding how much climate change should be expected in the future, and a hotly contested political and public debate exists over what actions, if any, should be taken in light of global warming.\n\nBased on basic science, observational sensitivity studies, and the climate models referenced by the IPCC, temperatures may increase by 1.4 to 5.8 °C between 1990 and 2100 [2]. This is expected to result in other climate changes including rises in sea level and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation. Such changes may increase the frequency of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and hurricanes, change agricultural yields, or contribute to biological extinctions. Although warming is expected to affect the number and magnitude of these events, it is very difficult to connect any particular event to global warming.
