Out here in Utah, it’s a reasonably wintery winter. Not so for much of the nation:
9 Maps That Show How Completely Bizarre Your Christmas Eve Weather Will Be
Some highlights:
1: Like the last six months, December will almost certainly be the hottest December on record.
2: 25 states will probably break temperature records for hottest Christmas.
3: A number of the lowest temperatures expected will be higher than the previous high temperature. This means that the moment the clock ticks over at midnight, the new record will be set, and will be broken again later in the day when the temperature rises. NYC is forecasted to have a low of 59 on Christmas Eve; the record high for that day was 56, set in 1988.
4: NYC will be warmer than LA.
5: The high for NYC is going to be about 73. The high on July 4 was 75. A slight possibility that Christmas Eve will be warmer than Independence Day.
6: Southern part of the midwest… Yay! You get tornadoes!
