Average Temperature Change in Every State for the Last 100 Years

Average temperature change in every state for the last 100 years

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned in 2022 that the world must curb the trend in rising greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 if there is any hope of meeting the Paris Agreement's goal of capping global temperature rise at 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. But as of August 2024, the numbers are going up, not down.

NOAA has found a record-breaking amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, and both winter and summer temperatures are rising at alarming rates across the country. Scientific experts say nothing will be spared from the effects of climate change—no acre of land, no human being, and no animal will be completely insulated from the changes that will occur over the next century. While the amount of warming—just a few degrees—may seem inconsequential, it's important to note just a few degrees of cooling caused past ice ages. Should humans continue to follow this current trajectory, the warming of Earth will have devastating worldwide effects.

Stacker compiled data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Information to detail the temperature changes over the past 120 years across every state except Alaska and Hawaii, where data was unavailable. Each temperature is compared to the 1901-2000 average.

Winter in this story refers to December of the preceding year through February of the current year (e.g., in 1919, winter is December 1918 to February 1919), while summer refers to June through August of each year. All temperatures are listed in Fahrenheit.
