Winters in the U.S. are warming faster than any other season, a pair of studies has found. But even though temperatures might be more tolerable, it's actually bad news for a number of reasons.
A study recently updated in mid-November by independent research group Climate Central showed that average temperatures since 1970 increased more in the winter than any other season in 74% of the nation. Winter is defined as the three-month period from December through February.
Winter was the fastest-warming season for 182 of the 246 U.S. locations analyzed by Climate Central. While these locations were found from coast to coast, they were most widespread in the eastern half of the country between the Plains and the East Coast.
