The average temperature in December 2024 was 38.25 degrees Fahrenheit in the United States, the fourth-largest country in the world. The country has extremely diverse climates across its expansive landmass. Temperatures in the United States On the continental U.S., the southern regions face warm to extremely hot temperatures all year round, the Pacific Northwest tends to deal with rainy weather, the Mid-Atlantic sees all four seasons, and New England experiences the coldest winters in the country. The North American country has experienced an increase in the daily minimum temperatures since 1970. Consequently, the average annual temperature in the United States has seen a spike in recent years. Climate Change The entire world has seen changes in its average temperature as a result of climate change. Climate change occurs due to increased levels of greenhouse gases which act to trap heat in the atmosphere, preventing it from leaving the Earth. Greenhouse gases are emitted from various sectors but most prominently from burning fossil fuels. Climate change has significantly affected the average temperature across countries worldwide. In the United States, an increasing number of people have stated that they have personally experienced the effects of climate change. Not only are there environmental consequences due to climate change, but also economic ones. In 2022, for instance, extreme temperatures in the United States caused over 5.5 million U.S. dollars in economic damage. These economic ramifications occur for several reasons, which include higher temperatures, changes in regional precipitation, and rising sea levels.

Abstract

Compilation of Earth Surface temperatures historical. Source: https://www.kaggle.com/berkeleyearth/climate-change-earth-surface-temperature-data

Documentation

Data compiled by the Berkeley Earth project, which is affiliated with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Study combines 1.6 billion temperature reports from 16 pre-existing archives. It is nicely packaged and allows for slicing into interesting subsets (for example by country). They publish the source data and the code for the transformations they applied. They also use methods that allow weather observations from shorter time series to be included, meaning fewer observations need to be thrown away.

In this dataset, we have include several files:

The monthly average temperature in the United States between 2020 and 2025 shows distinct seasonal variation, following similar patterns. For instance, in August 2025, the average temperature across the North American country stood at 22.98 degrees Celsius. Rising temperatures Globally, 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2024 were some of the warmest years ever recorded since 1880. Overall, there has been a dramatic increase in the annual temperature since 1895. Within the U.S. annual temperatures show a great deal of variation depending on region. For instance, Florida tends to record the highest maximum temperatures across the North American country, while Wyoming recorded the lowest minimum average temperature in recent years. Carbon dioxide emissions Carbon dioxide is a known driver of climate change, which impacts average temperatures. Global historical carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels have been on the rise since the industrial revolution. In recent years, carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes reached over 37 billion metric tons. Among all countries globally, China was the largest emitter of carbon dioxide in 2023.

This is an adjusted dataset with a base from Berkeley Earth’s on Kaggle – Climate Change: Earth Surface Temperature Data. The second source is Our World in Data’s Average monthly surface temperature.

This dataset combines historical land temperatures (1743-2013) with modern surface temperatures (1940-2024) to create a seamless, standardized global temperature record. With limited absolute temperature datasets available for recent years, this dataset helps bridge that gap, supporting climate analysis and long-term trend research.

The historical land temperature data includes monthly air temperature records measured 2 meters above the ground. The modern surface temperature data covers both land and ocean temperatures, recorded using satellites, buoys, and weather stations.

Since modern surface temperatures were slightly lower than historical land measurements, an adjustment factor was applied to correct for differences in measurement methods and ocean influence. A mean temperature ratio was calculated from overlapping years to align the datasets while preserving trends.

The final dataset provides monthly temperature records for each country from 1750 to 2024. The dataset was validated by comparing long-term trends with temperature anomalies, confirming its accuracy.

This dataset is useful for climate research, machine learning models, and studying global warming impacts, offering a more complete absolute temperature record than many existing datasets on Kaggle.

The mean annual temperature in North America stood at -4.5 degrees Celsius in 1995. It is expected that, 30 years later in 2025, the average temperature will increase by 1.6 degrees Celsius due to the effects of global warming, under a scenario where global temperatures increase by 1.5 degree Celsius.

This dataset was scraped from the World Bank Climate Knowledge https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/ for all available countries from 1901 to 2022. Dataset also includes 5 year smooth temperature values.

In 2022, Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked first among the countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) by mean temperature anomalies compared to the average from 1991 to 2021, which stood at 1.23 degrees Celsius.

Description: ChatGPT

The highest average temperature recorded in 2024 until November was in August, at 16.8 degrees Celsius. Since 2015, the highest average daily temperature in the UK was registered in July 2018, at 18.7 degrees Celsius. The summer of 2018 was the joint hottest since institutions began recording temperatures in 1910. One noticeable anomaly during this period was in December 2015, when the average daily temperature reached 9.5 degrees Celsius. This month also experienced the highest monthly rainfall in the UK since before 2014, with England, Wales, and Scotland suffering widespread flooding. Daily hours of sunshine Unsurprisingly, the heat wave that spread across the British Isles in 2018 was the result of particularly sunny weather. July 2018 saw an average of 8.7 daily sun hours in the United Kingdom. This was more hours of sun than was recorded in July 2024, which only saw 5.8 hours of sun. Temperatures are on the rise Since the 1960s, there has been an increase in regional temperatures across the UK. Between 1961 and 1990, temperatures in England averaged nine degrees Celsius, and from 2013 to 2022, average temperatures in the country had increased to 10.3 degrees Celsius. Due to its relatively southern location, England continues to rank as the warmest country in the UK.
