Another false claim by "NOAA" --> YTD warmest third on record! (why is there never an author listed on any of this?)

Year to date (January through July 2022)

The year-to-date (YTD) average temperature for the contiguous U.S. was 52.7 degrees F (1.4 degrees above the average), ranking in the warmest-third YTD on record. Temperatures were above average from Oregon to the Gulf Coast and northward to New England. California and Florida each ranked sixth warmest on record for the YTD.
