    	The observed monsoon season precipitation (June–September) across Arizona for 1895–2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from NCEI's version 2 climate division dataset. Precipitation during the monsoon season is highly variable from year-to-year. During the first part of the 21st century, precipitation was below normal, while the most recent 5-year period (2010–2014) experienced above average precipitation. The dark horizontal line on each graph is the long-term average of 5.3 inches. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

    	Time series of the Palmer Drought Severity Index from the year 1000 to 2014. Values for 1895–2014 (red) are based on measured temperature and precipitation. Values prior to 1895 (blue) are estimated from indirect measures such as tree rings. The thick black line is a running 20-year average. In the modern era, the wet periods of the early 1900s and the 1980s to 1990s and the dry period of the 1950s are evident. The extended record indicates periodic occurrences of similar prolonged wet and dry periods. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

    	Annual time series of the water level of Lake Mead at Hoover Dam. Water levels in Lake Mead have varied widely over the years. Low levels in the 1950s and 1960s were due to drought and the filling of Lake Powell, respectively. Recent years have seen the lowest recorded levels since Lake Mead levels dipped in the 1950s. The red-dashed line indicates the threshold (1,075 feet) below which a federal shortage will be declared, resulting in reduced water allocations for Nevada and Arizona. Source: USBR and NPS.

    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for New Jersey, averaged over 5-year periods. Observed data are for 1900–2014. Projected changes for 2006–2100 are from global climate models for two possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and another in which greenhouse gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions). Temperatures in New Jersey (orange line) increased from 1900 to the 1950s, then declined into the 1960s and 1970s, and have risen since then by about 2°F to the warmest levels on record. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of models. Observed temperatures are generally within the envelope of model simulations of the historical period (gray shading). Historically unprecedented warming is projected during the 21st century. Less warming is expected under a lower emissions future (the coldest years being about as warm as the warmest years in the historical record; green shading) and more warming under a higher emissions future (the hottest years being about 10°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading).

    	Monthly time series of the average water levels in the Elephant Butte Reservoir. Water levels in the Elephant Butte Reservoir have varied widely over the years. Water levels were generally low from the late 1940s to early 1980s. Following high levels during the 1980s and 1990s, a large decline occurred in the early 21st century in response to severe drought conditions. In recent years, levels have approached record lows due to the extended drought. Source: USBR.

    	Time series of the Palmer Drought Severity Index from the year 1000 to 2014. Values for 1895–2014 (red) are based on measured temperature and precipitation. Values prior to 1895 (blue) are estimated from indirect measures such as tree rings. The thick black line is a running 20-year average. In the modern era, the wet periods of the early 1900s and the 1980s–1990s and the dry period of the 1950s are evident. The extended record indicates periodic occurrences of similar extended wet and dry periods. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for New York. Observed data are for 1900–2014. Projected changes for 2006–2100 are from global climate models for two possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and another in which greenhouse gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions). Temperatures in New York (orange line) have risen about 2°F since the beginning of the 20th century. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of models. Observed temperatures are generally within the envelope of model simulations of the historical period (gray shading). Historically unprecedented warming is projected during the 21st century. Less warming is expected under a lower emissions future (the coldest years being about as warm as the hottest year in the historical record; green shading) and more warming under a higher emissions future (the hottest years being about 11°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading).

A typical station experiences one such event each year. Over the past 20 years, New York has experienced an above average number of extreme rain events, with the most recent 5-year period (2010–2014) experiencing the highest frequency in the historical record.

    	The observed number of very warm nights (annual number of days with minimum temperature above 75°F) for 1900–2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from 19 long-term reporting stations. The second half of the 20th century was a cool period for North Carolina, with the frequency of very warm nights well below the long-term average. The most recent 5-year period (2010–2014) has seen the largest number of very warm nights in the historical record — almost double the long-term average. The dark horizontal line is the long-term average of 4.6 days per year. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

The orange line at right shows the projected range from climate models of 1 to 4 feet by 2100 based on an assessment of scientific studies, which falls within a larger risk-based scenario range of 0.66 feet to 6.6 feet.

    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for North Dakota. Observed data are for 1900–2014. Projected changes for 2006–2100 are from global climate models for two possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and another in which greenhouse gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions). Temperatures in North Dakota (orange line) have risen more than 2°F since the beginning of the 20th century. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of models. Observed temperatures are generally within the envelope of model simulations of the historical period (gray shading). Historically unprecedented warming is projected during the 21st century. Less warming is expected under a lower emissions future (the coldest years being about 2°F warmer than the long-term average; green shading) and more warming under a higher emissions future (the hottest years being about 11°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading).

    	The observed number of very hot days (annual number of days with maximum temperature above 95°F) for 1900–2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from 16 long-term reporting stations. The dark horizontal line represents the long-term average. The 1930s were North Dakota’s hottest period over the past century. From 1930 to 1939, the number of extremely hot days was more than double the long-term average. Since 1990, however, the number of very hot days has been below the long-term average.
