I'm talking about monitoring season heat monitoring, which in the context I mean would be specific to the Southeast US as the converse of the frost/cold weather monitoring (save for South Florida which is continuous heat monitoring).
I think you are probably already doing some monitoring season heat monitoring for the Southeast US even if unintentional, you have made comments about Southeast US monitoring season heat as it happened which is exactly what the heat monitoring I am referring to is.
My summer heat monitoring is for places like Minneapolis and especially the Northwoods.
By the way, on the other comment it seems like Charleston Battery so far has a seasonal low 2C colder than Gainesville Airport despite the reverse being exactly the opposite of current climate normals. It is also just like last winter.
It's wild that Houston had such a warm night in December. Meanwhile here our warmest night in summer 2023 was 65F or so. However, our coldest temperature so far this winter has only been 0.3F, which has been matched by many places much further south of us (ex in TN, OK, AR, TX panhandle).

Even more wild: the very beginning of January 2022. From Texas to Florida there were numerous overnight lows in the 20-24C range on the Interstate 10 corridor and close by.
Despite that January ending up close to average it still managed such toasty lows. The Southeast US' monitoring season heat blasts, regular, and nonregular alike, never stop surprising me.

What an absolute pity. I very much prefer winters like 2014-15 when we get clobbered hard but usual seasonal minimums for most places further south are close to or above normal.
High-key hoping for a February 2015 repeat for us, beyond just the fun extra cold it would solve that problem.

I'd rather not get -20C for weeks on end... My dog refuses to go outside if it's colder than -10C, even with a coat. I'd much prefer days between -7C and 0C, and nights around -12C to -5C. <-15C is rather unpleasant for spending extended periods outside and 1-5C just means a lot of mud and slush here.

I agree that -15C or colder is not terribly fun to be outside in for a ton of time. It's moreso for the fun weather monitoring value - and with a February 2015 I'd still get both, the daily average was -12.6C and average high -8.2C which would have still given a lot of ideal winter weather while I get my weather monitoring fun.
I was going to say...feel like it may not have been frigid, but the lack of sunshine has been noticeable. I suspect way down on normal. It's looked like the UK outside my window - monochrome.
