Resolves according to NOAA Monthly Report (national), a tie will be resolved as 50%.
“Corresponding month” means that a January competes only with all previous Januaries, and July only with all previous Julys.

Realizing now I could've just used this tool https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/climate-at-a-glance/national/rankings/110/tavg/202501 to confirm easily
Wonder if some of these are overvalued?
(edit: oh whoops pardon, learning how reposts work)
From 2024, no months were the hottest in their record across the US:
January, ranking "in the middle third" across the 130-year record
May, 13th warmest
June, second warmest
July, 11th warmest
August, 15th warmest
September, second warmest
October, second warmest
November, sixth warmest
December hasn't finished yet
Climate change will fuck us over, and these montsh are frequently the hottest ever globally, but I do wonder if these USA-specific climate options are overvalued?
