These Are the 10 Hottest Januarys Oregon Has Ever Experienced
Stacker ranked Colorado's hottest Januarys since 1895, showing rising average temperatures linked to climate change and record highs in recent years.
Stacker compiled a ranking of the hottest Januarys in Tennessee since 1895 using National Centers for Environmental Information data, ranking months by average temperature with highs, lows, and precipitation.
Climate scientists note that climate change is driving rising temperatures and record heat, with NOAA citing recent extremes like July 2022 and prior record-setting months in the Continental United States.
The ranking lists each month's highs, lows and total precipitation, highlighting January 1949 with an average temp of 45.1°F, a high of 54.1°F, and total precipitation of 8.66, plus other Januarys averaging 45.2°F, 46.8°F, and 45°F.
The ranking reinforces recent extreme-month patterns at state and national scales, adding evidence that climate change is driving increasing record heat alongside months like July 2022.
Using the 1895–present record, Stacker places recent warmth in century-scale context, noting January ties across 1933, 1974, 2017 and 2023 and earlier months like January 1937 and 1949.
