A time series of summer temperature anomalies for the contiguous U.S. from 1895 to 2012 were plotted with a trend line.

Mean annual temperatures for the summer months (June-July-August) were averaged for all grid points in the contiguous U.S. Temperature anomalies were then calculated by subtracting the 1901-1960 average summer temperature from the annual average summer temperatures and plotted as a time series from 1895 to 2012. The temperature trend for the entire period was also calculated using linear least squares regression, and plotted as a trend line.

The duration of this activity was 6 hours.
