How we count

Each city is its official climate station, with the record threaded back through the sites that kept it before (ThreadEx).
Normal date: the median first date over the 1991-2020 seasons, our calculation from the same record (NOAA's official freeze-date normals use a different method and can differ by a few days).
Ranks and 'went past' counts use every complete season on record with usable data (seasons missing more than 10 days before their first date are left out); ties count.
This season's values are preliminary until NCEI reviews them. A day's value arrives once the station's daily climate report is in, usually by the next morning.
