According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a heating degree-day is a relative measurement of outdoor temperature that indicates how far the average daily temperature is below 65° Fahrenheit. The higher the number of heating degree-days, the greater the national demand for heating energy from sources like natural gas and electricity. The following monthly data show the number of heating degree-days from 1992 through 1995.
