State Climate Summaries – U.S

Organization: North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies

The U.S. Climate State Summaries, developed by NOAA and the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies, offer comprehensive overviews of historical and projected climate trends for all 50 U.S. states and territories. Each summary highlights key issues such as temperature extremes, precipitation patterns, and climate-related hazards like droughts, floods, and heatwaves. These user-friendly reports are valuable tools for policymakers, planners, educators, and communities aiming to build resilience in the face of climate change. Updated regularly, the summaries serve as an essential resource for understanding localized climate impacts and guiding effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.
