Spring time (March thru May) Average Temperature trends 1893 thru 2023. Blue is actual and orange is the NCEI adjusted average temperatures. Actual is pretty steady.....after NOAA adjustments some solid warming is clear!
With over 700 tornadoes in the US so far this year, we’re tracking right along with active niña years like 1999 and 2008 (though still behind the notorious 2011 which had almost 1000 by now).
For comparison, 2013 had barely more than 200 tornadoes at this point in the season.
