11 official all-time records
The official all-time extremes for Minnesota, as NOAA’s State Climate Extremes Committee lists them: from 115°F at Beardsley to -60°F at Tower.
The previously reported record of 114 degrees F was reported by observer at Moorhead on 7\/6\/1936 as 113.6 degrees F (unlikely to be accurate given the 1-degree precision of the mercury in glass thermometer in use at the time), and rounded to 114 degrees F. The extreme reported above for Beardsley was observed as 114.5 degrees F and has been rounded to 115 degrees F per current rounding practices.
