State-by-State Lists Show Recent Novembers Among Warmest on Record

Syndicated rankings from NCEI data show recent Novembers appearing often in state top-10s and echo NOAA’s finding that July 2026 was the hottest month on record for the continental U.S.

Overview

Local outlets republished Stacker’s NCEI-based rankings on Nov. 12–13, updating state-by-state top-10 lists of the warmest Novembers since 1895.
NOAA data reported July 2026 as the hottest month on record for the continental United States, and the syndicated pieces note a long-term warming trend of about 0.14°F per decade since 1880.
The state lists give each month’s statewide average temperature plus monthly highs, lows and total precipitation and show recent years—such as November 2025 in Oregon and November 2017 in Colorado—frequently ranking among the warmest.
The compilation is descriptive and syndicated rather than analytical: it uses statewide monthly averages that can mask local variation and does not attribute individual months to specific causes beyond the broader warming trend.
The prominence of recent Novembers in these records reinforces expectations of continued shifts in seasonal weather that can affect water availability, ecosystems and energy demand and that may prompt closer local monitoring and planning.
