,Just because summer 2026 may have had the highest average temperature on record nationwide does not mean that it was the “hottest summer on record,” as widely reported by legacy media. It also does not tell the full story in terms of the conditions that the vast majority of people actually felt.
Reporting that it was the “hottest summer on record” implies that average Tmax was highest on record, not the average Tmin or overall Tavg. By Tmax, 2026 ranks fourth behind 1936, 1934, and 2012, respectively.
