Source

  • NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, nClimDiv monthly temperature and precipitation (U.S. public domain): nClimDiv tavg, mean of the 12 months minus the 1991–2020 mean.
  • Read through climatedata.dev, dataset county-climate, version 2026-10-25.b4bbb5298a; its 4 input files from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information are named with their sha256 in this page's data, and the site's checks recompute every figure from them.
  • A year counts once all twelve of its months are in NOAA's file. The figure is the year's average temperature minus the average of 1991–2020's yearly averages, in °F. Counties come from NOAA's county file (climatedata.dev county-climate); states and the contiguous US, the national figure, from its statewide file (us-climate). NOAA's series are built from station data gridded to 5 km, so a county figure is an area average, not one thermometer. NOAA files DC as part of Maryland's county list; it is listed as a county here.
  • NOAA adds each month early in the next; climatedata.dev re-reads it daily.
  • 8 areas in the source are not places in the geo registry and are left out: us-county-09001, us-county-09003, us-county-09005, us-county-09007, us-county-09009, us-county-09011, us-county-09013, us-county-09015 (Connecticut's former counties, retired Alaska and South Dakota codes, the Virgin Islands).
