Temperature range cities interactive 2015

An online interactive chart showing detailed temperature and precipitation patterns for 1,801 US cities and 1,334 other global cities is now available online. The publication of this graphical data base is a result of the combined work of Accuweather and the New York Times. It covers the year 2015 and provides daily range bars for actual high and low temperatures for each city along with bars indicating record highs and lows for each date. Precipitation charts are provided indicating both actual and normal monthly precipitation. The normal range of temperature was calculated by normalizing the weather from 1981 to 2010. Data for some cities is incomplete.
More than 90 percent of the cities covered in the data recorded 2015 as the hottest year on record.
