Average temperature in last 6 months hottest ever
You need to go to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s webpage that shows a graph of temperatures in Colorado for July-December from 1901 going forward.
There were hot years in the past, most notably during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Then there were the consistently hot years of the 21st century. Then there was 2021.
If the previous six-month record were Mt. Elbert, this past six months would be like a 16,000-foot peak in the Andes.
