One thing I have always thought about 100 year records when they are broken, especially when many are broken around the same time as seems to be happening this time, is if the same records were also set around the same period, 100 years ago. If they are, this would indicate that the parameters needed to create the "hottest year" may also be the same sort of values required to set the "driest year" (quite logical) but also the "wettest summer", not logically expected...but maybe. This would mean that setting many new records in a short period of time is not as unusual as many people may be thinking.
Hopefully, you can see what I am trying to say.
