I am looking for a map on the internet, as large as possible, that
shows the average daily highs for the hottest month or week in many
locations around the globe. It can show other data as well such as
this map:
http://www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/interactive_climate_map/climate_map.html

The problem with that map is that it doesn't have enough data points.

Also looking for the average year-round temperature map of the globe.
Ideally it would be a rotatable globe topographic map, though I would
bet such a map does not exist.

The date of the data is not that important, though of course I would
like it to be for sometime in the past century.

Clarification of Question by genericon-ga on 11 Jul 2004 20:13 PDT

I should add that only the first part of the question needs to be
answered. The second part can be considered a bonus tip should it be
answered. (ie if you don't trust tip promises then ask me to ask it as
a second question)

There are some technical problems to producing the world map you want.
Lots more data is available than would fit on a map smaller than a
square kilometer, and a discussion of things affecting the local
weather would be desirable. Local can mean less than a kilometer in
some directions. It is midwinter in the southern hemisphere now, and
temperatures in the tropics are determined mostly by the monsoons,
elevations and ocean currents.
180 or so graphs of average highs could be produced along each
latitude line, but that would not tell you if that was a common or a
once per century high. Also elevation and a nearby bodies of water
changes temperatures also. Does the map you want need to analyze the
Arctic and Antarctica?   Neil

Well, let me just be more specific. I am finding the border at which a
large block of ice would remain completely frozen all year. I don't
know how large, but a 1,000 ton block of ice would be large enough.

Not a global map, but here is a US map:

Enjoy!
