How can you use “noaa” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
As is usually the case when interesting questions are raised, the answer can be found on the Web--in this case, by consulting the National Climatic Data Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (popularly known as NOAA and pronounced exactly like Chatterbox's last name).
Therefore, it's rash to conclude (as Chatterbox did) that the second-hottest temperature in known human history was the 134 degrees recorded in Death Valley--cited by NOAA as the hottest-ever temperature in North America, and as a temperature hotter than any other recorded by NOAA for any continent that isn't Africa.
NOAA also has hottest-ever data for America-firsters who only really care about how hot it gets in the U.S. (On the "Temperature Extremes" page, go to "All-Time Temperature Maximums by State" and click on "Table [PDF]."
The NOAA data show the hottest days ever recorded on various continents, in declining order.
Chatterbox's rankings for the U.S. were similarly skewed, since NOAA's chart listed all-time highs for individual states; hence the second-hottest day in the United States was probably not June 29, 1994, when it hit 128 degrees in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., and 125 degrees Fahrenheit in Laughlin, Nev.
