About this data — Records are sourced from the NOAA Threadex dataset via RCC ACIS, a quality-controlled record for long-term climate stations. Threadex adjusts for station relocations and observation-time changes, making records comparable across all years since 1893–2026. Climate normals represent the 1991–2020 average.

About this data. Monthly averages are the mean of daily average temperatures, computed from NOAA Threadex records via RCC ACIS. Months missing more than three days of observations are excluded from the rankings, so the in-progress month never appears. Rankings cover 1,301 complete months on record. Precipitation totals sum the daily reports for the month, with trace amounts counted as zero. A month missing any day of precipitation data is left out entirely (an unreported day is unreported rain), so the precipitation ranking covers 122 complete Augusts. Normals are the 1991–2020 mean for the same calendar month. Trend lines are a least-squares fit across every year shown.

About this data. Fall is meteorological autumn, September 1 through November 30, the window NOAA uses for seasonal statistics. Seasonal temperature is the day-weighted mean of the three monthly means; precipitation is their sum, and a season missing any of the three months is left out of the rankings. Freeze, heat and snow markers come from daily NOAA Threadex observations via RCC ACIS: freezes and snow are the first occurrence on or after July 1, and the last 90°F and 80°F days are the final ones anywhere in the calendar year. Growing season counts the freeze-free days between the last spring 32°F and the first fall 32°F.
