However, temperature records were shattered. The accumulated average daily temperatures during this period were around 3,161, compared to 3,494 in the previous hottest year (1997), but 2003 reached 3,696. Additionally, there were 49 days with temperatures above 30°C/86°F, more than triple the average of 16.
