Climate Central is pushing the narrative that winters are warming the fastest, and all seasons are warming. This is because the basic global warming theory predicts that is a key signature of global warming. It is not based on any data. In reality Spring and Summer show the most signs of warming.
It's not true for most of the United States. Climate Central does this by showing you a limited view of the data.
"The most rapid warming in the U.S. has generally occurred when and where it’s usually the coldest, including at night, in northern parts of the country—and during winter." source
So I check the nearest climate station to that area
Winter is warming the fastest?
How about summer?
I'm not going to bother with the other two seasons, but here is the data
For good measure I randomly picked two other climate stations in North Carolina
No surprise there. None of the climate stations show anything like what ClimateCentral claims
To compare Raleigh with the climate reference stations
