  92. ^ Temperatures of 5°C have been reported at high altitude on São Tomé.
  93. ^ Temperatures in the first half of the century have been either unreliable or discontinued,therefore values like 36.0C of 3 December 1917 are to be considered unreliable. 36.0C was also claimed to have been recorded in 1954.

  103. ^ Temperatures as high as 51.7°C at Man and 50.3C at Kirkwood in 1928 are unofficial and almost surely taken under not proper conditions. The official highest temperature in South Africa is 50.0C recorded at Dunbrody on 3 November 1918, but there it is believed to be incorrect.
