Is this a typo by any chance? I live in an area where the high/low difference in a 24 hour period regularly exceeds 30F and the highs from day to day can exceed that. The latter isn't all that common but it does happen. I guess my point is that this doesn't seem extreme at all.
Not a typo. And it probably wouldnt be extreme by itself, but it went on top of a perfect storm of secondary issues outlined in the video that made it so that it did become a compounding factor.
EDIT: Another thing to point out is that while the kind of heat we are having right now is within the normal temperature range for summer, it came about a month early. So a lot of people were not ready for it.
I think the idea is the high, low, and average temperature went up by that much, so now the coolest minute of the day is warmer than yesterday's average or the day before's hottest minute.
