NASA: May 2016 Was The Warmest May On Record

Global temperature data from NASA show that May 2016 was the warmest May on record – despite satellites reporting that it was less warm than May 1998. The…

May 2016 Global Temperature: UAH Reports Second Warmest May

Global atmospheric temperatures came off the boil last month as the El Niño Pacific Ocean warming event started to fade, but May 2016 was still the…

Unmitigated emissions to cause even more profound warming of 8 °C globally and 17 °C in the Arctic by 2300, according to a new study in Nature Climate Change. This graphic is from the paper and shows simulated model-mean temperature and precipitation changes in response to 5 EgC emissions. a, Multi-model mean temperature change in response to 5 EgC CO2 emissions, with respect to the pre-industrial control simulation. b, Multi-model mean precipitation response to
5 EgC CO2 emissions, expressed as a percentage of simulated pre-industrial precipitation. The values correspond to the time when cumulative emissions reach 5 EgC, and are scaled by the ratio of CO2 to total radiative forcing. Grey shading indicates regions of inconsistent model responses, where
at least one model shows a change of opposite sign to the model-mean. Courtesy: Nature Climate Change and the authors.

WMO: April Continues Record Temperature Streak

WMO boss Petteri Taalas blames record temperatures on the “combined effect of climate change and El Niño”. The “extraordinary heat” that was recorded in 2015 pales by…

2016 is shaping up to be the warmest year on record, according to data released by NOAA. Graph shows 2016 year-to-date temperatures versus previous years. This graphic compares the year-to-date temperature anomalies for 2016 (black line) to what were ultimately the seven warmest years on record: 2015, 2014, 2010, 2013, 2005, 2009, and 1998. Each month along each trace represents the year-to-date average temperature. In other words, the January value is the January average temperature, the February value is the average of both January and February, and so on. The anomalies themselves represent departures from the 20th century average temperature. Courtesy: NOAA.

NOAA Data Shows 2016 Set To Be Hottest Year

2016 is on track to be the hottest year on record, according to data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Global average…

Global temperature data from NASA show that April 2016 was the warmest April on record - despite satellites reporting that it was less warm than April 1998. NASA has reported an average global temperature anomaly - or variance to the long-rem average - of +1.11C for April 2016 compared with +1.29C in March and +1.33 in February. Note: Gray areas signify missing data.
Note: Ocean data are not used over land nor within 100km of a reporting land station. Courtesy: NASA GISS.
