New State Climate Summaries

NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information and the Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth System Studies have released an updated set of climate summaries for all 50 US states plus Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. These are comprehensive updates to the summaries released in 2017, with additional data, improved figures, and updated text addressing recent trends and notable climate and weather events across the country.

The new summaries are available on the web and as downloadable PDFs at https://statesummaries.ncics.org/
