Price volatility on an annualized basis for natural gas in the U.S. has averaged more than 80% for most of 2022. This chart shows the daily close for the prompt month since 2020 began. Unprecedented geopolitical factors have combined with extreme weather patterns and other variables to create these conditions this year.

Until June, markets in New York and New England had been spared the extreme weather patterns found elsewhere. In terms of Cooling Degree Days (CDDs), these markets were tracking along historic means. That changed in June, and these markets have been trending significantly above historic averages for CDDs since then.
