USA Records Its Hottest Summer Ever – Is It Time to Rethink How We Keep Cool?

Summer 2026 has officially entered the record books, with the contiguous United States experiencing its hottest summer on record.

According to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, the average temperature across the 48 mainland US states during June, July and August reached 74.4°F (23.6°C) – around 3°F above the 20th-century average. The summer even surpassed the previous records set in 1936 and 2021 by 0.4°F.

And it wasn’t just the overall summer record that was broken.

July 2026 became the hottest month ever recorded in the mainland USA, with an average temperature of 76.9°F (24.9°C). Every state across the contiguous US experienced above-average temperatures during the month.

August followed with yet another record, becoming the hottest August on record, averaging 75.6°F (24.2°C). California, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado all recorded their hottest August average temperatures.

Hot Days Are One Thing – Hot Nights Are Another

For many people, one of the hardest parts of prolonged summer heat isn’t getting through the daytime – it’s trying to sleep when temperatures remain high at night.

During July, overnight minimum temperatures across the contiguous USA were the warmest ever recorded for any month, averaging 64.2°F.

Record Heat Could Make Cooling Sleep Solutions More Important

The record-breaking summer of 2026 is another reminder of just how uncomfortable prolonged periods of heat can become.
