The January-September 2026 period was the warmest on record for the Contiguous U.S. Only slightly warmer than Jan-Sep 2012. 36% of the Contiguous U.S. set the record warmest Jan-Sep in 2026. In 2012, it was 34%. In all other years since 1940 combined, it was 30%.

Todd B. Bates reposted

The Colorado River basin's 2025-26 water year (October-September) was the warmest on record. It was also the least snowy on record. Only 16.8% of the (below average) precipitation fell as snow - shattering the previous record low.
