While there are some ares along the western coast that have had a reasonably warm summer this is not the case with most of the US. IN researching the Daily LOW's for over 354 ground stations including US CRN I found that daily lows were -0.4 to -1.3 deg C on average from the the low 1970-2000 HCN mean. Only areas in Oregon were actually at their mean average temp and those areas equaled their warmest months in the recorded record.
Finding this we computed the mean average temp for the lower 48 and found that we were well below any historical high temp by 1.37 deg C.
Hmmmmmmm
NOAA's comment is that this July's GLOBAL temperature is the hottest July GLOBAL temperature in 136 years. What, exactly, do you believe is the significance of your comment here Billy Boy?
