Minimum temperature map of the United States from 1871–1888 Maximum temperature map of the United States from 1871–1888. The following table lists the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 inhabited U.S. territories during the past two centuries, in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

The climate of Georgia is a humid subtropical climate, with most of the state having short, mild winters and long, hot summers. The Atlantic Ocean on the east coast of Georgia and the hill country in the north impact the state's climate. [1] Also, the Chattahoochee River divides Georgia into separate climatic regions with the mountain region to ...
All-time low temperature records were also set well into interior sections of the deep South, such as in Charlotte, North Carolina, where temperatures were recorded as low as −5 °F (−21 °C); [1] Macon, Georgia, with a record low of −6 °F (−21 °C); [1] and Jacksonville, Florida with a record low of 7 °F (−14 °C).

The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded may have been an alleged reading of 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, California, United States, on 15 July 1972. [7] In 2011, a ground temperature of 84 °C (183.2 °F) was recorded in Port Sudan, Sudan. [8] The theoretical maximum possible ground surface temperature has been ...
On December 23, Athens, Georgia, saw its coldest temperature since 1989 and set a daily low temperature record of 11 °F (−12 °C) after the cold front moved through. [200] That day, the Blue Ridge Parkway closed due to ice on the roads and wind chills as low as −45 °F (−43 °C) on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. [201]
United States. The December 1989 United States cold wave was a series of cold waves into the central and eastern United States from mid-December 1989 through Christmas. On December 21–23, a massive high pressure area pushed many areas into record lows. On the morning of the 22nd, Scottsbluff, Nebraska, experienced −42 °F (−41 °C).
Climate change in Georgia encompasses the effects of climate change, attributed to man-made increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide, in the U.S. state of Georgia. Studies show that Georgia is among a string of "Deep South" states that will experience the worst effects of climate change, [1][2] with effects including "more severe floods and ...
The cold wave was related to a highly negative North Atlantic Oscillation event during that winter driving cold Arctic air into most of North America. [ 1] February 1936 was the coldest February on record in the contiguous U.S., narrowly eclipsing February 1899. [ 2] It also was the coldest month ever in Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota .
