Distribution of Monthly and Seasonal Means:
US Climate Division data

How do the current month or season's us climate division's temperature, precipitation and palmer drought index values compare with those in the past? By selecting a state and division, you can obtain a plot of the distribution of the monthly or seasonal values from 1895 to the present for the location chosen together with general statistics and the current value. Other options available include plots of the sorted data and data values (listed by year or sorted). For sorted plots, you can optionally highlight certain years on the plot (for example, the last 5 years or the strongest El Nino years). When a subset of years is highlighted you will also get summary statistics for that subgroup.
