      <abstract>
        Climatic Extremes of the Summer of 1998 is a technical report
prepared by, and available from, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).
Regions of the U.S. and other parts of the world experienced a variety of
weather and climate extremes during the summer of 1998. This report describes
some of these events and conditions, including drought and fires in Florida, a
heat wave and drought across parts of the south, flooding in China, flooding
in parts of the U.S., Hurricane Bonnie striking North Carolina and Virginia,
and an overall review of U.S. and global climatic conditions. Overall damages
and costs for the events described in this report exceeded 30 billion
(including over 10 billion in the U.S.), and the death toll exceeded 3000
(including over 200 fatalities in the U.S.).
