• Description:
  This Climatography includes annual degree days totals derived from the 1971-2000 normals. A degree day is defined as the difference between the average daily temperature (calculated by adding the maximum and minimum temperatus then dividing by 2) and some base temperature value. This publication presents annual heating degree day normals to the following bases (in degrees F): 65, 60, 57, 55, 50, 45, and 40, and annual cooling degree day normals to the following bases (in degrees F): 70, 65, 60, 57, 55, 50, and 45. The values are summarized alphabetically by station within each state or territory. The states are listed alphabetically for the contiguous United States, followed by Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Trust Territories.
