1Excludes Alaska and Hawaii. Notes: · Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature. Cooling degree-days are deviations above the mean daily temperature of 65° F. For example, a weather station recording a mean daily temperature of 78° F would report 13 cooling degree-days. · Temperature information recorded by weather stations is used to calculate State-wide degree-day averages based on resident State population. Beginning in 2002, data are weighted by the estimated 2000 population. The population-weighted State figures are aggregated into Census divisions and the national average. · See Appendix C for Census divisions.
2Normals are based on calculations of data from 1971 through 2000. Web Page: For current data, see http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/mer/overview.html.
