The average June-August 2009 summer temperature for the contiguous United States was below average – the 34th coolest on record, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. August was also below the long-term average. The analysis is based on records dating back to 1895.
U.S. Temperature Highlights – Summer
For the 2009 summer, the average temperature of 71.7 degrees F was 0.4 degree F below the 20th Century average. The 2008 average summer temperature was 72.7 degrees F.
A recurring upper level trough held the June-August temperatures down in the central states, where Michigan experienced its fifth, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota their seventh, Nebraska its eighth, and Iowa its ninth coolest summer. By contrast, Florida had its fourth warmest summer, while Washington and Texas experienced their eighth and ninth warmest, respectively.
The Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota region experienced its sixth coolest summer on record. Only the Northwest averaged above normal temperatures.

Waiting to see how warm winter is.
Just listen to the “Global Warming Experts” then expect the opposite.
I suppose you might get down to what, 55 degrees?
past 2 years have been cooler and wetter in my area than anyone can remember.
Ping.
I sure hope not. ;)
My suggestion for this winter is to buy a very warm coat. I don’t know about the amount of snow, but it is going to be cold unless the Sun gets back into production again.
Where’s Al Gore?
paging algore more speeches needed to warm the atmosphere....
How soon before Congress passes Obama’s Green Bill, the one that has the U.S. going it alone in lowering our GDP and standard of living so that the rest of the world can laugh & catch up?
I hope the winter is more dry than the summer was.
I don’t remember a summer in NY like this since 1975 or so.
hey all dont care about truth...he is driven by greed and icecream
We don’t need a repeat of the past two winters, they remind me of the winters of the late 70’s. Fun walking a mile 1&1/2 home from school in the snow.
Hot and dry in Texas. Finally got some rain in the past week.
So, out of 114 years of records,
1934 & 1998 must be #1 & 2 warmest
This year ranked as #80
I wonder which year is #114. I honestly expect the record coldest to come within the next six years.
This can not be squared with “global warming”, no matter how it is spun.
