weather statistics

Baltimore has, on average, spent the first three months of 2015 below the freezing mark, making it the coldest start to any year here on record.

February 2015 ended with an average temperature of 25.3 degrees in Baltimore, the coldest for that month since 1934 and for any month since 1989.

Last year was the warmest on Earth since record-keeping began in 1880, according to two reports released Friday.

After one of the coldest winters in decades, an unusually comfortable spring and summer, and wintry late-fall weather, 2014 ended as Baltimore's coldest year since 2003.

Though the globe is expected to have its warmest year on record, in Baltimore, 2014 is pacing to be the coldest year since at least 2003, if not 1996.

Meteorological fall ended Sunday, and the average temperature from September through November in Baltimore was the coolest since 2002.

Two local broadcast meteorologists are predicting another colder-than-normal winter with above-average snowfall.

The statistics are in, and one of Baltimore's coolest months of August on record helped make it the mildest summer here since 2000.

It may be the dog days of summer, but Baltimore didn't break out of the 70s this weekend, continuing a trend that has this month on pace to be the third-coolest August here on record.

The pattern is a similar one to what we saw much of the winter and again this spring and summer, with an area of warmth in the western third of the country but cold air spilling over the Canadian border across the rest of the country.

A developing El Nino is forecast to suppress tropical storms and hurricanes this summer and fall, contributing to a below-normal storm season, U.S. forecasters said Thursday.

A stalled rainy system is forecast to make for a wet and cool end to April, likely a third consecutive month with more than 4 inches of precipitation here.
