What's the most extreme weather measurement you've recorded?

[BigOkie]

Just got my system, but in a matter of a couple of weeks. In Prairie Grove AR I had 73.1 on 1/29/11 and -5.6 on 02/10/2011. That is pretty extreme. That was just 12 days.

Sounds familiar.

I had a 79.2 temp reading on 1/29 here in Tulsa (high, obviously)
On 2/10 my low was -9.2.  Chilly cold.

Two surface observations I took while working at the airport on July 13, 1995. A day I will never forget. I saved these because I knew they would be long standing records.

A dew point of 87?
That's insane.

Hello
Most extreme temp. swing I have recorded was yesterday 43F drop down to 15F overnight. Thats 28F drop here.

I heard something on the news recently about a city in the northern plains recording a record low of -31F, followed by a record high a few days later. Crazy!

My station recorded a relative humidity of 6% yesterday, the lowest I can recall seeing here.  That along with gusty winds produced a Chandler Burning Index was at least 133 and probably a bit higher.

My sister's station in Campobello, SC recorded a relative humidity of 5%.

I tend to get a lot of wind, but that's way too much info about me.  

Here we see the remains of Atlantic hurricains that are kindly sent our way from the eastern U.S & Canada and North Atlantic Jetstream means they often make landfall around the Northwest of Scotland.
Over the last few years I've recorded the following highs:

2008 - 9th January - 82 knots (94 mph or 152 Km/h)
2009 - 17th January - 85 knots (98 mph or 158 Km/h)
2010 - 29th October - 61 knots (70 mph or 113 Km/h)
2011* - 3rd February - 67 knots (77 mph or 124 Km/h)

*A long way to go in the year so this may not be the highest!!
