Climate by state: NOAA statewide normals, 1991-2020, and each state's places
NOAA computes each state's normal from a 5 km grid of station data (nClimDiv), so the statewide figure weighs mountains and deserts by their area, not by where the stations are. Each state's page adds its places and its months.

A dash: NOAA's statewide series is missing a 1991-2020 month (Alaska) or starts too late for a century rate (Hawaii, the District of Columbia and the territories); their pages use the station normals.
