A method for calculating warm (cold) temperature extremes during the warmest (coldest) month of the year was developed. Regression analyses were performed for warm (cold) temperature versus an index calculated from a station's monthly mean temperature and mean daily range. Correlation for these regression lines ranges from 0.974 to 0.995. Warm and cold indices, calculated for approximately 2000 Northern Hemisphere stations, were plotted and analyzed. The resulting Northern Hemisphere maps of the 1-, 5-, and 10-percent warm temperatures, and the 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-percent cold temperatures for the warmest (coldest) month are presented.

The method for calculating warm and cold temperature extremes, described in Part I for the Northern Hemisphere, is used in this report (Part II) for an analogous presentation in the Southern Hemisphere. A bias in the estimates of cold temperature extremes for the Southern Hemisphere is discussed and evaluated in this report, resulting in development of a new set of regression equations to depict cold temperature extremes. The resulting Southern Hemisphere maps of the 1-, 5-, and 10-percent warm temperatures, and the 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-percent cold temperatures for the warmest and coldest months, respectively, are presented. Parts I and II of this report together provide a global representation of warm and cold surface temperature extremes for use in systems design and operation. (Author).
