How many states have never recorded a temperature below 0°?
Just one Hawaii. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Hawaii was 12°, measured on May 17, 1979, at the Mauna Kea Observatory on the Big Island. Most states have record lows well below 0°, except for Florida, which has an all-time low of -2°. That record was set in Tallahassee on Feb. 13, 1899. For each state’s all-time low temperature record, check out this USA TODAY resource page. Another good reference for weather records is Christopher Burt’s book Extreme Weather.
