Average temperature in July 2024 compared to normal (1991-2020 average). Places that were warmer than average are red; places that were cooler than average are blue. Warmer-than-average temperatures in the West and the East are like a set of parentheses around a pocket of cooler-than-average temperatures in the country's center.
