They haven't matched the incredible pace of June records, but U.S. temperature extremes this summer continue to overwhelmingly favor hot records vs. cold records. Through the 23rd, the number of daily high temperature records reported by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in July outnumbered low temperature records by a ratio of over 5 to 1. Combined with June's torrid ratio of nearly 11 to 1, the ratio for the summer to date stands at 8.3 to 1. For the year 2011 to date, as well as the last 12 consecutive months, the ratio has risen to 2.6 to 1.
