This figure appears in chapter 44 of the NOAA-led State Summaries 2017 report.
The observed number of extremely hot days (annual number of days with maximum temperature above 100°F) for 1900–2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from 12 long-term reporting stations. The number of extremely hot days has been above the long-term average since the late 1980s, reaching a peak in 2000–2004. However, the number of such days was slightly below average for the most recent 5-year period. The dark horizontal line is the long-term average (1900–2014) of 10.6 days per year.
