According the records keeping since 1895 the mainland United States has experienced the warmest 12 months. It was announced by a top government science and weather agency on Monday, July, 9. The report didn’t take into consideration blistering heat from this month when the highest temperature mark increased by 2,116 on the period from July 2 to July 8. As well as an extreme heat of June the report doesn’t incorporate the warmest March recorded. In the second part of June the temperature record of 170 degree were recorded and smashed in cities across the lower 48 states. Now the U.S. State Climate Extremes Committee is reviewing 113-degree temperatures in South Carolina and 112-degree recordings in Georgia which were presented as all-time temperature records in those two states. The temperature increasing causes large wildfires in Colorado, as the state had its warmest June ever, and most of the state faced extreme to exceptional drought. The situation also was and is pretty similar in such states as Arizona and Georgia, and these states are also suffering much, as the U.S. Drought Monitor says. The average temperature in June all over the United States mainland was 71.2 degrees, which is 2 degrees above the average of the 20th-century. Not only the Midwest and Rocky Mountain region but also coast states, for example New Jersey, left the heat of late. The state has lived through 16 straight month during which average monthly temperature was above the normal. Finally millions of people in the central and eastern United States got some relief after the heat wave this Monday, but so long-waited break in the heat caused severe storms in some areas. Let’s see what else the nature is preparing for us. The half of the summer is still ahead. Who knows what temperature increase is waiting for us?
