The United States has recorded its hottest month in more than a century of official temperature records. July’s average temperature was 76.89F (24.94C) across the Lower 48 states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The average temperature for the CONUS in July was 76.9°F, 3.3°F above the 20th-century average.

July was the hottest month ever recorded in the United States, according to data released Monday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

A long-infamous record from the 1930s has bit the dust.

Thirteen states saw one of their five warmest Julys, with this year's beating July 1936 and July 2012 to become the hottest month overall.
