Assessing the U.S. Climate in February 2024

Excerpt:  “The 2023–24 winter season ranked warmest on record for the contiguous U.S. with eight states across the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast each observing their warmest winter on record. The Smokehouse Creek wildfire burned more than a million acres in the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma. The wildfire began on February 26 and has become the largest wildfire in Texas history. February 2024 was the third-warmest February on record for the nation and precipitation ranked in the driest third of the historical record for the month.”
