"Avg high"/"Avg low" is the mean daily high/low for that month, averaged across every year on file. The "record" figure alongside it is a different statistic — the single hottest (or coldest) hour ever recorded during that month across all years — so it can sit above or below the average and does not describe the average's year-to-year spread. A "wet day" is any day with at least 1.0mm of rain.
Year to year
Annual average temperature, 2016–2025.
Across these 10 years, the annual average has moved by about +0.25°C per decade. That’s a short window for a reliable long-term climate trend — treat it as indicative, not definitive.
Annual rainfall has moved by about -0.95mm per decade over the same period.
2025 (the most recent year on file) averaged 15.315426802961817°C, above the 9-year baseline of 15.3°C by 0.06 standard deviations.

Data & provenance
↓ Download monthly CSVData source & coverage — ERA5 reanalysis, 2016–2025 (10 years)details
- Source
- ERA5 reanalysis, accessed via the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Climate Data Store
- Data type
- Reanalysis — a physically consistent reconstruction combining a forecast model with historical observations, not a live station reading or a forecast
- Coverage
- 2016–2025 (10 years) for United States
- Location
- Cannon Air Force Base — 34.500°, -103.250°, ERA5 grid cell center, 13.3 km from requested point
- Time zone
- America/Denver
- What's shown here
- Monthly and annual averages, and dated extreme-value records, derived from an hourly base record.
- Spatial resolution
- 0.25° (~25 km) distributed grid — ERA5's native model resolution is finer; this is the publicly distributed regridded product
- Version / refreshed
- Methodology v2026.07 · data last refreshed December 31, 2025
- Limitations
- A model reconstruction, not a station observation — hyper-local extremes (a single storm cell, an urban heat pocket) can differ from a nearby gauge. See the full methodology.
