US Climate Rankings — Hottest, Coldest, Rainiest Cities

National leaderboards over the largest US metros, built from the same 1991–2020 climate normals and all-time records behind the city climate pages. Each ranking sorts every metro by one measure — average high, average low, annual rainfall, annual snowfall, the long-term warming trend, or the hottest day on record — and every city in the list links down to its full climate profile.
