Vermont Warming
Northeastern and western Vermont are among the regions of the United States that have warmed the most since 1984, according to a study of statistics gathered by the National Climatic Data Center and analyzed by The Associated Press. Temperatures warmed by more than 2.5 degrees Farenheit over three decades in those parts of Vermont, in New York's St. Lawrence Valley, northern Maine and the northeastern plains of New Mexico. Southwestern states heated up the most in the hottest months. AP found that the average New Mexico summer is 3.4 degrees warmer now than in 1984. In Texas, summer days are 2.8 degrees hotter.
