These numbers are from the CME Group weather derivative white paper, where the temperature measures come from local airport weather stations. It looks like an average decline of 14% has occurred in 2009 with respect to the past 10 year average.
Going against the (global warming) crowd, and betting on a cooler summer would have resulted in some nice profit. Just like how all other markets have worked. It's tragic how much politics has gotten involved with weather research.
