NOAA_April_2013_Map

My rankings are below. You may ask yourself why the table rank doesn’t match the above map from the NOAA?

The answer is ties. NOAA (and I) are counting from 119 to 1 for data table. This is Nebraska (where the two months tied at 4th coldest are ranked 5th):

I try and keep my table in synch with NOAA’s table. But I will rethink that.

USA NOAA March 2013 State Temperatures – Florida and South Carolina 5th coldest out of 119 – 114 Were Warmer.

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

Florida and South Carolina was coldest state by ranking. 5th coldest out of 119 for March 2013. 114 were warmer.

Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama were amazingly cold at 6th/7th coldest out of 119.

In fact the list of really cold states was very long. Twelve states had an average temperature below freezing!

31 of the lower 48 states were ranked less than 60 out of 119, which is pretty cold.

The warmest state in terms of ranking was California at 111, still colder than 8 March’s.

The biggest difference between March 2013 and the warmest March was North Dakota, 23F colder than 2012.

No state broke a warm record. No sign of “global warming” in March 2013 in the USA.
