July was the hottest month ever recorded for the contiguous United States, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The record-breaking heat blanketed much of the Lower 48, with particularly excessive temperatures reported in the Mountain West, Southwest, Northern Plains, and Southeast. While Alaska experienced unusually cool conditions, the contiguous U.S. surpassed its previous monthly high temperature mark.
The NOAA data, dating back to 1895, confirms this July as unprecedented in terms of heat. Axios Visuals presented a chart illustrating the record-breaking temperatures. The Washington Times also reported on the NOAA findings, emphasizing that last month was the hottest on record for the contiguous U.S. PBS Newshour noted the widespread hotter-than-normal conditions across much of the country.
