Rodney,
My suggestion would be to re-think your statistical analysis but keep in mind that record high temps are not random events.
It would be entirely possible, for example, to see a spike in temps producing record high temps, then a return to normal. If "normal" were in fact, gradually rising temps, then we would see a long term increase in average temps (i.e. global warming) without any new record highs for much longer than your 200 days.
What matters in a global warming analysis is the average temperature, not the average high temperature.
