US Avg Temp in April: 1 Degree Below 20th Century Avg
May 10th, 2008 by Micah Tillman | 2 Comments |
The National Climactic Data Center’s preliminary report:
For the contiguous United States, the average temperature for April was 51.0°F (10.6°C), which was 1.0°F (0.6°C) below the 20th century mean and ranked as the 29th coolest April on record, based on preliminary data.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how useful these data are, given the disclaimer:
All temperature and precipitation ranks and values are based on preliminary data. The ranks will change when the final data are processed, but will not be replaced on these pages. As final data become available, the most up-to-date statistics and graphics will be available on the Climate Monitoring Products page and the U.S. Climate at a Glance Web site.
But if you click on the link in the first quotation above, you get the following graph:
