The map above displays the maximum temperature, which is the average highest temperature recorded on a daily basis.
In general, temperature decreases towards the polar region and increases closer to the equator. Meanwhile, the milder states are in the middle latitudes.
This is why areas like Alaska and closer to Canada are colder. But states like Texas and Hawaii have a higher annual mean daily maximum temperatures.
