Climate Facts
Did you know...
August 2016 marked the 16th straight month where the global average monthly temperature set record highs, making it the longest such stretch in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's 137-year dataset. Global summer temperatures this year (June-August) were also record-setting and exceeded the two previous global records set in both 2014 and 2015.
While global temperatures are a critical measure of the overall state of the climate, regional and local conditions vary and can be either above or below the global average. In Indiana, our long term records have shown no trend in summer average temperatures over the last century. However, there are clear upward temperature trends during all other seasons. According to a recent NOAA report, average Indiana temperatures in all seasons, including summer, are expected to increase by 3-6 °F in the next 25-50 years.
