Latest Average Temperature Across the USA

Even though it has been a hot summer and fall in Central Texas, the average temperature across the US through the end of September has not been particularly noteworthy as shown in the data below.

"This data is from state-of-the-art ultra-reliable triple redundant weather stations placed on pristine environments. As a result, these temperature data need none of the adjustments that plague the older surface temperature networks, such as USHCN and GHCN, which have been heavily adjusted to attempt corrections for a wide variety of biases. Using NOAA’s own USCRN data, which eliminates all of the squabbles over the accuracy of and the adjustment of temperature data, we can get a clear plot of pristine surface data."

The 30 years from 1981 through 2010 provide the basis for the normal period for each month and the anomaly is the variation from this 30 year average.

It is also clear that there has been no discernable warming in the US over the last 15 years, contrary to the political hype espoused in the popular media.
