The observed number of very warm nights (annual number of days with minimum temperature at or above 75°F) for 1900–2018, averaged over 5-year periods (bars; last bar represents 4-year average). Filled circles connected to black line segments show annual values. These values are averages from 16 long-term reporting stations. The highest 5-year average occurred during the 2010–2014 period and was slightly above the previous record set in the 1930–1934 period. The dark horizontal line is the long-term average of 9.9 days per year. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.
