July was yet another hotter-than-average month across the U.S., and folks in New Mexico and Florida were really feeling the heat.

Both states had their hottest July on record, and overall, it was Florida's second-hottest month ever. The Sunshine State's all-time hottest month was June 1998.

With a nationwide average temperature of 75.3 degrees, July was the USA's 14th-warmest July on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.

All of the top 10 warmest months on record are Julys, with most either in the 1930s or since 2000, according to physical scientist Jake Crouch of NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.

That 75.3-degree temperature is the average of all the high and low temperatures each day at weather stations across the U.S.

For the year to date, the nation is seeing its third-warmest year on record. Every state is warmer-than-average so far this year, with Alaska record warm.

The July climate report for the world will be released next week. July could end up as the globe's warmest month on record.
