To illustrate what summer weather was like from 1920 to 2021, Stacker consulted data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The average, maximum, and minimum temperatures as well as the average precipitation data for each year was gathered from NOAA's Time Series database. Summer is defined as the months of June, July, and August.
1976: Extreme drought in the Midwest Much of the world experienced colder than usual temperatures in the summer of 1976, with a large warm exception for westernmost Europe and the United Kingdom. In the U.S., a drought began and spread in the upper Midwest, reaching extreme conditions by the end of the summer.

Anyway the link has a synopsis of each year of summer weather.
Hmmm! I was on Guam in 1947-1949 as a brat kid so I have no clue. Guessing pretty warm in the quansut huts.
Not much of a useful report when it is generalized across the whole country.
NOAA — the provider of this past temperature information — has been firmly supporting the Global Warming agenda, even going so far as to massage past data to make current temps look more ominous. I believe nothing coming from a government agency these days.
And no one on earth knows what the temperature of the earth should be at any point on earth at any point in time.
What should it be?? Whatever it is.
Worthless as it gives the weather in a particular local for that year.
You may think I’m naive but I would trust the NOAA, until the early 90’s
1944....hotter than hell....may-august...what we have this week is nothing
my town had good records
It was a cool wet summer the year I was born. Then I was born in mid September and the whole world brightened & warmed up.

In IA in 1976 we had extreme draught in July. Towns had to bus in water when city wells dried up. Our first daughter was born on July 21, 1976 and we had the first precipitation that day in weeks.
I like to think that Iowans were celebrating our first child but maybe it was because of the rain.
I’m having a hard time seeing the “globull warming” trend in this data.
98.6 degrees all summer...
Where I lived it was cold and rainy that 76 summer probably a thousand miles away.
Carl Sagan was saying that this was the beginning of a new ice age.
Hope your daughter is doing well.
I distinctly remember a very warm Christmas we spent at my grandparents’ house by DC. Yep - it was in 1974: 59F that day:

I also remember 100F + at various times in the Seventies in Maryland, such as July 23, 1978:

I sorta remember a cooler spring and summer in the year of 1976. That’s the year hubby and I were married and the weather was wonderful the entire year....or maybe I was just in love!
1976 in Santa Cruz was a severe drought so much so the San Lorenzo river riverbed e at Ben Lomond(swimming hole) was dry dust.
Agreed. A useless thread. The average of Aspen and Bakersfield doesn’t mean much..to people living in Topeka.
We did a cross country road trip in 1976, in summer, from San Diego to the east coast and back. There was no unusual weather that I remember. It rained on our canvas tent in VA. The tent mildewed in the car. Fragrant. Not.
But generally the hot, dry places were hot and dry, and the hot and humid places were humid and hot.
It’s called summer weather.
