Warming context for Hawthorne Muni

Methodology

Since 1900, U.S. land temperatures have tracked (and diverged from) the global mean - the chart below shows how. Hawthorne Muni's current NOAA 1991-2020 normal sits within that longer spread, and the most recent decade runs warmer than the 30-year mean.

Hawthorne Muni receives roughly 11.8 inches of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. For energy use, 1,091 heating degree days and 925 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Hawthorne Muni scores 77/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings August-driven heat, and deep winter brings December-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
