Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Southeast Region for June – August 2018.  Dated September 2018.

Above-average temperatures were recorded over most of the Southeast. Mean temperatures were in the top five warmest at 27 long-term stations. Maximum temperatures were generally near normal, but minimum temperatures were 1-4 F above normal due to high humidity and cloud cover. Precipitation values ranged from 50% of normal in South Carolina to over 200% of normal in northern Virginia. Several long-term stations observed their wettest summer on record.

This tool, available as part of The Climate Toolbox, provides a table of future climate projections from an average of 20 global climate models under either high or low future greenhouse gas emission scenario for a selected location in the contiguous United States.

The Climate Explorer offers graphs and maps of observed and projected temperature, precipitation, and related climate variables for every county in the contiguous United States, helping people assess potential exposure, vulnerability, and risk to their assets.
