The average temperature for December in Baltimore, Maryland, is 45.62 degrees. In December 2021, the average temperature was 58.04 degrees. How much warmer was the temperature in 2021 compared to the average year

To find out how much warmer the temperature was in December 2021 compared to the average year, we need to calculate the difference between the average temperature in December 2021 and the average temperature for December in Baltimore.

Temperature difference = Average temperature in December 2021 - Average temperature for December

Temperature difference = 58.04 degrees - 45.62 degrees

Temperature difference ≈ 12.42 degrees

Therefore, the temperature in December 2021 was approximately 12.42 degrees warmer compared to the average year in Baltimore, Maryland.

To calculate how much warmer the temperature in December 2021 was compared to the average year, we need to find the difference between the average temperature for December in 2021 and the average temperature for a typical year.

Given:
Average temperature for December in Baltimore, Maryland = 45.62 degrees
Average temperature in December 2021 = 58.04 degrees

To find the temperature difference, subtract the average temperature for a typical year from the average temperature for December 2021:

Temperature difference = Average temperature in December 2021 - Average temperature for a typical year

Temperature difference = 58.04 degrees - 45.62 degrees

Temperature difference = 12.42 degrees

So, the temperature in December 2021 was 12.42 degrees warmer compared to the average year.
