1. Not evident in Connecticut, not at all. It is 62 right now in SW CT. It is 58 in New London. Sorry, that is not hot for June.
2. So how do they calculate this anyway? There certainly are not weather instruments in every 1 km grid across the USA. And going backwards in time, there were obviously fewer and fewer of them.
3. Even if it can be calculated objectively and accurately, why would anyone ascribe significance to an “average temperature” of the Lower 48, given the extreme regional differences over the vast expanse of this nation?
Naw, finally got their proof of Global warming. Happens every year about this time in the Northern Hemisphere and every October in the southern Hemisphere. It is called Climate Change. Been going on for a while. What a boring world it would be if it were a constant 72 degrees (and life would be unsustainable).

There are many ways, one suspects, to game the temperature gathering and reporting systems, and these folks are not shy and are not at all bothered by that pesky conscience thingy.
One of the coldest Mays i can remember. Ditto June. This is PC bull.
Exactly.
John Coleman, one of the co-founders of the Weather Channel, maintained until his dying day that global warming/climate change was pure bull shit.
“There are many ways, one suspects, to game the temperature gathering and reporting systems...”
Like ashphalt parking lots in Phoenix in July.
“Hotter than hell in Louisiana”
Ft. Polk, hot in the summer? I’m stunned! Lackland AFB in San Antonio was pretty goddamned hot in the summer of ‘63 too as I vividly recall.
