How did Manatee County end up in the year-round bracket? Like half the time I go up there it seems to be 90 deg plus, and that’s before considering concrete reradiation and the fact that temperatures have been getting warmer overall…

No Seasons could have a more distinctive colour. Otherwise this is pretty nice.

I don’t understand why most of the puget sound region is “no seasons”, while King County is “Summer” despite the entire region having a virtually identical climate. Is this because summer temp averages are like 81 in the surrounding counties?

So Louisiana and parts of South California, Minnesota and New York don’t exist?

“Average” is so misleading. I call baloney on that vast swath of green being between 60 and 80 in the summer. I mean *occasionally* it is. I think it’s more accurate to describe it as between 70 and 100 in July / Aug

The muted color choice is very pleasing. Glad they didn’t just 255 everything.
But why is Louisiana missing?

I live in nc, and you *might* be able to count on one hand the amount of days it’s 60-80 in the summer…

I believe this is misleading if it uses nighttime lows to get the average. In florida for example, the “average temperature” may be below 80 but not the average daytime temperature.
edit: I also think OP is a bot

Should be adjusted in some way for humidity.
An 80 degree day in Florida/Louisiana are generally going to be unpleasant compared to an 80 degree day in California/Arizona. The humidity is too much of a factor.

What happened to Louisiana? FWIW, Average Max is probably a better Temp. Method for that sample image.

This is not correct for the PNW, at all! We have so much winter in Northern Washington!

Does Mapbox (or whatever is providing the projection) have Lambert Conformal as an option? Much better for CONUS. This projection makes the NE and NW droop.

This doesn’t pass the smell test to me in Minnesota. We are routinely over 80°F in the summer. It’s not unusual to break 100. Once you pass May, you won’t be regularly getting daytime temps under 80 until late September.
Our summers are way hotter than people seem to think. But our winters are even worse than you already imagine.

Um, no. I am in central North Carolina and I can tell you that you do not want to be here in Summer if you like it below 80 during the middle of the day

I think you’d more need to map “percent of days with a high between 60-80F” to make this more meaningful. I think the East San Francisco Bay Area is probably like 55-80F 95% of the time, but you can’t tell that from this map.

Miami is almost NEVER as low as 60, no matter the season; very misleading to say it’s “between 60 and 80 for three seasons”. It’s at 80 or above for most of fall and spring.

While it may be around 80 in those purple Florida areas in the Summer, the humidity is oppressive

I don’t know if a map that makes it look like New York and Los Angeles have the same weather is very useful.

Damn they finally sunk New Orleans.

Not pictured: Hawaii, where it’s between 60-80 almost all day, year-round, up in the mountains.

Sad Louisiana fell into the gulf.

This map is great for chasing average to above average daily temperatures (compared to global average of 59 degrees) east of the Rockies, but showing county level data rather than per section (36 sq mi grid) or per sq mi, really limits it’s usefulness in counties with Mountains. Take 1440 sq mi (3800 sq km) Mariposa County. The town of Mariposa is at about 1000′ (300 m). Yosemite Valley is 4000′ (1200 m). Yosemite rim is 7200′ (2200 m) at Glacier Point to 8800′ at Half Dome, and the County’s high point is 12,000′ (3600 m).

95 and disgustingly humid summers checking in.

It would be interesting to see this map from previous 20 year increments, i.e. 2005, 1985, 1965, etc.

Not accurate at all for my green area.
