Hottest Year Ever Vs. 1948
August 29, 2017
On this date in 1948,
almost the entire US was over 90F,
and there were 100 degree temperatures coast to coast – as far north as Pennsylvania.
Compare vs. last year – NOAA’s official hottest year ever™.
There was very little hot weather.
The frequency of
hot afternoons in the US
has been declining for a century,
and is near a record low.
