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 Vermont has been above average during the early 21st century. A historically high number of warm nights (1.7 days per year) occurred during 2005–2009. The dark horizontal line is the long-term average of 0.9 days per year. The number of warm nights for the contiguous United States (bottom panel) is also shown to provide a longer and larger context. Very few long-term stations are available back to 1900 for Vermont. Source: CICS-NC/NOAA NCEI
