This figure appears in chapter 7 of the NOAA-led State Summaries 2017 report.

The observed number of warm nights (annual number of days with minimum temperature above 70°F) for 1950–2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from seven long-term reporting stations. The number of warm nights in Connecticut has consistently been above average since the mid-1980s with a peak in the number of such nights occurring between 1985 and 1989. The number of warm nights for the contiguous United States (bottom panel) is also shown to provide a longer and larger context. Long-term stations back to 1900 were not available for Connecticut.
