Summary
Abstract:
Climatic Extremes of the Summer of 1998 is a technical report prepared by, and available from, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Regions of the U.S. and other parts of the world experienced a variety of weather and climate extremes during the summer of 1998. This report describes some of these events and conditions, including drought and fires in Florida, a heat wave and drought across parts of the south, flooding in China, flooding in parts of the U.S., Hurricane Bonnie striking North Carolina and Virginia, and an overall review of U.S. and global climatic conditions.
