Sea-surface temperature anomalies during El Niño. The most intense warming (2 to 2.25 degrees Celsius, dark brown) occurs off the coast of South America. Cooler areas (negative 2.25 to negative 2 degrees Celsius, dark blue) are in the Arctic Ocean.

A composite of sea-surface temperature anomalies during El Niño from November to March during the following years: 1958, 1966, 1973, 1983, 1987, 1992, 1996, and 1998. When sea-surface temperatures in the tropical eastern Pacific rise well above normal, it is known as an El Niño event.

A map illustrates global tropical cyclone zones, indicating areas where tropical typhoons, cyclones, and hurricanes form.

Areas of the world affected by tropical cyclones. In the Americas, tropical cyclones are known as hurricanes; in the western Pacific Ocean, they are known as typhoons; and in the Indian Ocean, they are known as cyclones.

Tropical Cyclone Zones

Areas shaded in blue represent tropical cyclone zones, predominantly found over parts of the tropical or subtropical Atlantic, Indian, western Pacific, and eastern Pacific oceans. These storms form in specific regions: Atlantic Ocean: Including the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and extending towards the eastern United States and parts of Central America. Indian Ocean: Covering areas around the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Western Pacific Ocean: Extending from the Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia to the eastern coasts of China and Japan. Eastern Pacific Ocean: Including the coastal regions of Mexico and parts of Central America. Southern Hemisphere: Affecting regions around Madagascar, parts of Australia, the South Pacific islands (Fiji, Samoa), and the eastern coasts of Africa.

A map highlights the average distribution of dew point temperatures in July across North America.

Average July dew points for the contiguous United States

Average Distribution of Dew Points, July (U.S.)

The lightest shade of green represents a dew point of 20 degrees Fahrenheit, seen in parts of the western United States. The light shade of green, indicating a dew point of 30 degrees Fahrenheit, covers areas such as parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, and Utah. Moving southward, the green shade representing 40 degrees Fahrenheit is visible in regions including parts of the mostly western United States, such as Montana, Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, and Arizona. The medium green shade represents the 50 degrees Fahrenheit range and is seen in the northern Midwest, including parts of North Dakota. The darker shade of green represents higher dew points, with 55 degrees Fahrenheit covering regions like South Dakota, central parts of Wisconsin, Chicago, and New York. The green color represents 60 degrees Fahrenheit and is widespread in the central to eastern United States, covering areas like Dallas, Texas, Iowa, Illinois, Virginia, and Washington D.C. The brown color represents 65 degrees Fahrenheit and is concentrated in the southeastern United States, covering regions such as Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas. The darkest shade of brown represents dew points of more than 70 degrees Fahrenheit, seen in the Gulf Coast states, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Houston, Florida, and Miami.
