These values are updated once every ten years and will cover the period 1991-2020. The previous set of normals was based on 1981-2010. Because of the rising temperature in the US and across the globe, the new normal temperatures are expected to be higher than the previous set, although there are a few places like the north central Great Plains that have actually gotten cooler over time. Here is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncei.noaa.gov\/news\/Upcoming-NOAA-2020-Climate-Normals\">article<\/a> that describes the process of calculating the normals.
