Since the beginning of the water year (October-September) most of the US has been cold.
Afternoon temperatures since October 1st have been by far the coldest, 1.6 degrees below the previous record in 1898-1899.
Nighttime temperatures were second coldest, 0.3 degrees warmer than the record cold year of 1916-1917.
It was also most likely the wettest October-April on record, but I won’t have statistics for that for a couple of weeks.
This destroys the argument that record rainfall is associated with warm air. And NOAA had the forecast exactly backwards, predicting warmth and drought.
