Find Your Next Vacation Spot

As a resident of the DC area, I often find myself seeking cooler climes in order to escape the oppressive summer heat. The problem I always run into is that, while there are thousands of websites that'll tell you what the weather is today, very few give you a picture of a city's overall climate.  When they do, they tend to present this information in such a way that makes comparisons across cities very difficult (weather.com, I'm looking at you). What if there were a way to summarize the climate for every major US city within a single view?

I took a stab at the question using free data from NOAA. Here's what I came up with.  Click on a city to see the average temperature for each month.
