You see, Old Cloudy One, on any given day when it is above average in some places, it is often below average in a relatively equal of of other places (seasonal impacts do vary).
Maximum and minimum temperature anomalies, this phenomenon called weather, tends to be variable day to day, year to year.

>>Hotlanta Breaks Record For 100-Degree Days
>>POSTED: 5:39 pm EDT August 17, 2007
>>UPDATED: 6:05 pm EDT August 17, 2007
>>
>>ATLANTA -- Atlanta on Friday endured its eighth day of
>>100-degree temperatures this month, breaking a record
>>for the city's hottest month.
>>
>>Previously, July 1993 held the record with seven days
>>of temperatures of 100 degrees or more, according to
>>records that go back to 1930.
>>
>>Hotlanta lived up to its nickname this month, with the
>>mercury hitting 100 on August 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16
>>and 17, according to the National Weather Service.
>>
>>The mercury hit 100 degrees by 3 p.m. Friday. At that
>>time it was also an even 100 in Rome and Macon, and
>>101 in Cartersville.
>>
>>The four-day stretch of the 8th to the 11th tied the
>>record for most days of 100-degree days in August, set
>>in 1980, said Pam Knox, Georgia's assistant state
>>climatologist.
>>
>>The heat wave over much of the nation has proved
>>deadly, with nine confirmed deaths in Missouri, eight
>>in Illinois, four each in Arkansas and Georgia, three
>>in Alabama, two in South Carolina and one in
>>Mississippi, as well as one death in Tennessee outside
>>Memphis.
>>
>>Last summer, a heat wave killed at least 50 people in
>>the Midwest and East. California officially reported a
>>death toll of 143, but authorities last month
>>acknowledged the number may have been far higher. A
>>1995 heat wave in Chicago was blamed for 700 deaths.
>>
>>In the Atlanta area, thunderstorms were predicted for
>>Friday evening, followed by sunny weather Saturday and
>>temperatures in the high 90s, according to the
>>National Weather Service.
>>
>>Atlanta residents shouldn't feel too miserable. "It's
>>not nearly as bad as Augusta," where it was 103 late
>>Friday afternoon and which has experienced 12 days of
>>100-degree temperatures this month, Knox said.
