Over the past 10 months, 74% of the US has been below normal, with the average deviation being -1.25 degrees F.
Seventy four percent of the US has been below normal temperature over the past 10 months
The temperature anomaly weighted by area shows that cold temperatures have been heavily dominating the US climate.
Until they “adjust” the figures.
But the US is only X% of the world, California is above normal, etc.
Yes but the rest of the world has not been exactly warm either not that you will ever hear that from the MSM. Please note that hail means fierce updrafts that transport energy straight up to the stratosphere.

Roman says on July 1, 2014 : At the begining of the last week 3 nights in a row the minimum officially recorded temperature in northern Poland was… 0 C or 32 F. and John McC says, Our local N. Ireland BBC news reported that the temperature in Katesbridge, Co. Down, fell to only 1C in the early hours of July 1st. It is so unusual for temperatures to fall this close to freezing point in July. It may be a record low for the time of year….

Steve I think Al Gore ate my last comment July 31, 2014 at 2:06 pm
I think that California needs to ask Al Gore to visit.
Really cold here in Adelaide Australia. We just had some snow fall at 200 mtrs elevation at Flagstaff Hill. It rarely gets below zero here and then only above 400 odd mtrrs.

Where is Jim Hunt, I could use some laugh today
Outside of the EPA hearings in Denver, “The Climate Reality Project” was giving out ice cream as part of its “I’m Too Hot” campaign. In real life, it should have been giving out hot chocolate, as the record low temperature high (62F) was set for the date. Is the Gore Effect real?
http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/07/30/climate-doesn’t-cooperate-al-gore’s-group’s-visit-denver-epa-hearings
It may be a long series of coincidences. I like to think of it as karma.
Plus I think it’s hilarious that the climate keeps a small, cold, black cloud over Big Al for little publicity stunts like this.

Its the “Gore Effect” once again !!
Record cold !!
Check out the responses on here to Lagarde and the IMF in relation to Climate Change…

Steven,
Really like the last two charts – the weighted anomaly chart (last chart) is very good. How did you do them?
Are those charts of real data? Or representations of what a normal distribution with the same average and sigma would look like?
They look too perfect.
Lifted from Ice Age Now: Julember. From the older times, July through August were known as the “dog days” in the NH; very hot, very humid, and very stagnant. Anyone in the Mid-Atlantic through the South and over to East Texas knows those days well. So far this summer, the dogs ain’t hunting.
