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.

Seasonal lag is the phenomenon whereby the date of maximum average air temperature at a geographical location on a planet is delayed until some time after the date of maximum daylight (i.e. the summer solstice). This also applies to the minimum temperature being delayed until some time after the date of minimum insolation.
As the planet warms, mosquitoes are slowly migrating upward. The temperature range where malaria-carrying mosquitoes thrive is rising in elevation. Scientists now worry people living in areas once ...
Mosquitoes can develop from egg to adult in hot weather in as few as five days, but it may take up to a month. [13] At dawn or dusk, within days of pupating, males assemble in swarms, mating when females fly in. [14] The female mates only once in her lifetime, attracted by the pheromones emitted by the male.

A person has died from the mosquito-borne virus known as EEE in New York, the state's first case since 2015 and the second death from the disease in the U.S. since late August.
Gainesville, Florida, with a low temperature of 10 °F (−12 °C) [9] was its coldest temperature since the Great Blizzard of 1899 (when it had reached a low of 6 °F (−14 °C)). Atlanta, Georgia saw a low of −8 °F (−22 °C), setting a record for the month of January as well as for the 20th century, and was only one degree shy of its ...
Growing degrees (GDs) is defined as the number of temperature degrees above a certain threshold base temperature, which varies among crop species. The base temperature is that temperature below which plant growth is zero. GDs are calculated each day as maximum temperature plus the minimum temperature divided by 2, minus the base temperature.
