The official “new normal” for the U.S. climate is warmer than ever before and the changes are ominous for California, experts say.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Tuesday released its new climate averages, based on the 30-year period from 1991 to 2020. The averages, known as “climate normals,” are updated every 10 years, and they show most of the country, including California, heating up.
“The influence of long-term global warming is obvious,” the NOAA said in announcing the updates to its averages. The official numbers are used in many contexts, from setting utility rates to comparing a day’s temperature to the norm in weather forecasts.

The average temperatures in the contiguous U.S. over the past three decades, or “climate normals,” reached a record high, according to a Washington Post analysis of data released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
From 1991 to 2020, the 30-year average was 53.28 degrees Fahrenheit for the 48 contiguous U.S. states, a record high. The country has warmed 1.7 degrees, roughly the same as the global rate, since 1901-1930, the first three-decade period for which climate normals were recorded.
NOAA data indicated climate normals increased 0.46 degrees from the 30-year period between 1981 and 2010 to the period between 1991 and 2020. This is the second-highest increase on record for the country, after the 0.5-degree increase between 1971 and 2000, and 1981 and 2010, according to the Post.
