正文(英文) | May 2020 was near average temperature-wise for the contiguous U.S., but the month capped off a warm spring and even warmer year to date, according to scientists from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. Last month was also slightly wetter than average, as severe flooding impacted parts of the U.S., including heavy rain in the Midwest and tropical downpours in Florida. Here are more highlights from NOAA's latest U.S. monthly climate report: Climate by the numbersMay 2020The average May temperature across the contiguous U.S. was 60.8 degrees F (0.6 of a degree above the 20th-century average), ranking in the middle third of the 126-year record. Temperatures were highly variable across the nation last month: North Carolina had its 10th-coldest May on record, while New Mexico had its fifth-warmest. The average precipitation for May was 3.04 inches, 0.13 of an inch above average, which ranked in the middle third of the record. A soggy setup spread heavy rain across the Great Lakes region and Southeast, while drier-than-normal conditions covered the Southwest and Rockies. Meteorological spring and the year to dateThe average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during meteorological spring (March through May) was 52.6 degrees F (1.7 degrees F above the 20th-century average), which ranked in the warmest third of the record. The spring precipitation total of 8.40 inches (0.46 of an inch above average) ranked in the wettest third of the record. The average U.S. temperature for the year to date (January through May, YTD) was 45.9 degrees F (2.6 degrees F above average); it ranked 9th-warmest YTD on record. The period was also unusually wet, with a precipitation total of 13.60 inches, 1.21 inches above average and ranking in the wettest third. Other notable May climate events
