Historic U.S. Winter Warmest on Record Across Lower 48
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirms winter 2023–2024 was the warmest in nearly 130 years of record keeping. The Lower 48 averaged 37.6 degrees, 5.4 degrees above average, with Minnesota Iowa and Michigan seeing unusual warmth and Great Lakes ice at record lows. Scientists attribute the spike to long term warming and El Nino, with impacts including earlier springs, pest and allergy season shifts, and altered bird and pollinator timing.
