So now you think the temperatures are accurate? How weird is that? Not weird at alll that's you. Yeah, last year was a US record by over a degree. I don't think anybody expected it to be as warm this year. 2013 warmer and wetter than average for the contiguous US Seven weather and climate disasters exceeded $1 billion in damages; national drought footprint shrank drastically though intensified in Far West The average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during 2013 was 52.4°F, 0.3°F above the 20th century average, tying with 1980 as the 37th warmest year in the 119-year period of record. The year consisted of a warmer-than-average winter, summer, and autumn, and a cooler-than-average spring. For the year, the average precipitation total for the contiguous U.S. was 31.17 inches, 2.03 inches above the 20th century average. This marked the 21st wettest year on record and the wettest since 2009. California was record dry, while Michigan and North Dakota were record wet; Alaska had its third wettest year. ncdc.noaa.gov
