As far as the contiguous United States are concerned, the year 2015 was the 2nd warmest on record, second only to the year 2012. We have had 19 consecutive years of above average temperatures. 1996 marks the last time we had below average temperatures nationwide.
It was the warmest Autumn on record for the continental U.S. In addition, December was the warmest month on record
It was also the 3rd wettest year on record, with 1973 and 1983 wetter, they too strong El Nino years.
I am sure to dredge up more statistics when I can. Also, I plan to reveal the global climate situation in a future post.
