Correction: The original graph on the Y axis said C for Celsius. The correct unit is F for Fahrenheit. All mentions of F are correct. Graph has been corrected.
Did you know January in Washington State is cooling at 23F/Century according to the NOAA? O that December is cooling at -18F/Century?
September though is warming like crazy. 8 out of the 12 months are cooling. I’d call February flat -0 .8F / century is pretty negligible.
Here is the last 15 years broken down by month.
October 2013 in the USA was the 37th coldest since 1895 according to the NOAA.
The following map has the ranking by state. If there was a 119 (there was not) it would have been the warmest. 1 would have been the coldest.
As you can see, the whole western USA was well below normal. The center and the south were pretty average. And when the NOAA says average, they mean 50 or 60 Octobers were warmer.
For example, Oregon had the 11th coldest October. Which means 108 Octobers were warmer.
The NOAA says September 2013 was the 6th warmest September in the USA.
2013 was behind 1998, 1931, 1933 , 2005 , 1990 and just edged out 1939 and 1922.
There were no NSIDC sea ice updates today. I emailed NSIDC to ask why and got this prompt and polite reply.
“Thank you for contacting the National Snow and Ice Data Center.Because our data provider, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has shut down the data stream as part of the government shutdown, we are temporarily unable to update the product.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Best regards,

According to the NOAA August 2013 was the 92nd warmest out of 119. That means only 28 were warmer.
These are the 28: 1901,1913,1934,1936,1937,1938,1943,1947,1955,1958,1959,1969,1970,1983,1984,1988,1995,1998,2000,2001,2003,2005,2006,2007,2010,2011,2012
It was cool in the east though. The numbers below are the rank out of 119.
So North Carolina (for example) was 13th warmest out of 119. Which means 107 Augusts in NC were warmer.
NASA is telling lies about the southeast USA. They claim that sulphates were causing the Southeast to stay cooler and masking AGW. For some reason they use the term “warming hole”.
Read about it here.
How do they explain that it was warmer in the southeast in the 20s and 30s than now?
Here is the big lie that jumped out at me.
“As a response to the declining sulfate levels, Leibensperger’s modeling shows temperatures over the central and eastern United States have increased by 0.3°Celsius between 1980 and 2010.”
The trend from 1980 to 2010 (using NASA’s own data) is indeed .2C per decade.
But the trend from 1990 to 2010 is in fact negative. It is -.2C per decade.
And the trend from 1895 to 2010 is FLAT!
All 3 graphs below:
With all the claims about 2012 being the worst drought in USA history (total joke), I thought I would mention that July 2013 was the 5th wettest July ever according to the NOAA.
Only 1950, 1958, 1992 and 1915 were wetter. July 2013 was .71 inches above the 1901 – 2000 average. July 1930 was the driest.
The 1895 to 2013 trend for precipitation in July is 0. Flat. No trend at all. Perfectly average.
Year To Date precipitation for 2013 is 23rd wettest. 1.54″ above the long term average.
Alabama had the 5th coldest July since 1895 according to the NOAA.
July 2013 in Alabama was tied for 5th coldest with 1911.
Only 4 July’s were colder. 1967,1947,1994 and 1972. The two warmest July’s were 1930 and 1932.
Even with all the manipulation of NOAA data to cool the past and warm the present, there were 29 July’s warmer than July 2013 in the USA according to the NOAA.
These July’s were warmer than July 2013.
1901,1917,1921,1930,1931,1933,1934,1935,1936,1937,1939,1954,1955,1964,1966,1977,1980,1988,1998,1999,2001,2002,2003,2005,2006,2007,2010,2011,2012
1936 was the 2nd warmest. 1934 was the 4th warmest. And 1901 was the 6th warmest. According to the NOAA. I suspect 1936 was really the warmest, but NOAA data says otherwise today.
The USA population (along with UHI) has risen from 128 million in 1936 to 319 million.
Just a reminder for those AGW cult members. According to the NOAA, May in the Southeast USA has been cooling at -0.1F/decade since 1895.
