Record Setters

The stations shown on the map below had one of their three warmest, coolest, wettest or driest year-to-date records. Stations with a white symbol saw values that exceed any previous year-to-date value at the station's current location. The smaller symbols indicate outcomes that were 2nd or 3rd place among a station's history.

Please note: in order to avoid many overlapping or crowded symbols in a region, a subset of only about 200 stations across the United States were considered. There are very likely many additional stations having a "top three" or "bottom three" season not depicted here. The stations under consideration are listed in other supplemental pages (temperature, precipitation).
