World Breaks Monthly Heat Record 2 Months in a Row

Well, things are heating up, ATS. World temperatures are steadily increasing each year the world over except for, surprisingly, the US. The US only had its 33rd hottest June.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The globe is on a hot streak, setting a heat record in June. That's after the world broke a record in May.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Monday that last month's average global temperature was 61.2 degrees, which is 1.3 degrees higher than the 20th century average. It beat 2010's old record by one-twentieth of a degree. While one-twentieth of a degree doesn't sound like much, in temperature records it's like winning a horse race by several lengths, said NOAA climate monitoring chief Derek Arndt.

And that's only part of it. The world's oceans not only broke a monthly heat record at 62.7 degrees, but it was the hottest the oceans have been on record no matter what the month, Arndt said

Global temperature records go back to 1880 and this is the 352nd hotter than average month in a row.

"This is what global warming looks like," Overpeck said in an email. "Not record hot everywhere all the time, but certainly a reflection that the odds of record hot are going up everywhere around the planet."

Nothing like some Doom Porn to get the spirits up, eh ATS?

Probably the US is the only country that doesn't 'cook the books' so to speak. Seriously, though, it is still way cooler than 200 years ago so 'chill' out.

I often wonder if some of the new high and lows have more to do with coverage in places that were never covered in the past . Like do they know how hot it is in the middle of the desert ? When did they start collecting data from places where humans have not lived . I read somewhere that they found the coldest place in Ant-Arctic just last winter .Surely collecting those temps are only recent . a reply to: lostbook

Let's see the chain of custody of those numbers from the sensors to the results. Lets see the sensor calibration certifications and the proof that those have a chain of custody to prove they are valid. Lets see the training and certification records of the sensors recorders. What are the certifications and educational certificates of the data crunches and programmers? What are their political ties and from where is every penny of everyone's funding from?

Don't like questions then you don't care about REAL science and the very tough job REAL science is. Better have the answers for REAL peer reviews and not paid yes men.

It's actually been a cool summer for the US, even had a cool front come through in mid-July. Been a very quiet hurricane season in the Atlantic as well.

Well its early in the hurricane season still, but I do have to say it has been a mild july so far in Virginia.

Do you expect anyone to believe this? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Or this?

Nice summer days, not too hot or humid and the sleeping weather is just beautiful in Southern Ontario. Only problem I have is the increase in the bugs, probably because of the lack of bats due to WNS and I haven't seen many honey bees. But those two issues are probably due to Monsatan and excessive cell phone towers.

BTW, if the temperature "appears" to be rising in some places, I wonder if that is due to placing more sensors near concrete jungles?

A comment from someone on the OPs source:

(don't shoot the messenger!)

The RSS satellite dataset shows no global warming at all for 214 months from September 1996 to June 2014 - none at all - for 17 years 10 months. The hiatus period of 17 years 10 months, or 214 months, is the farthest back one can go in the RSS satellite temperature record and still show a zero trend. This is the longest continuous period without any warming in the global instrumental temperature record since the satellites first watched in 1979. Yet the lengthening Pause coincides with a continuing increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration.

The fastest measured centennial warming rate was in Central England from 1663-1762, at 0.9 Cº/century – before the industrial revolution.

The global warming trend since 1900 is equivalent to 0.8 Cº per century. This is well within natural variability.

The fastest warming trend lasting ten years or more occurred over the 40 years from 1694-1733 in Central England. It was equivalent to 4.3 Cº per century.

The fastest warming trend lasting ten years or more since 1950 occurred over the 33 years from 1974 to 2006. It was equivalent to 2.0 Cº per century.

Since 1950, when a human influence on global temperature first became theoretically possible, the global warming trend has been equivalent to 1.2 Cº per century.

There's a few hundred more just like it.

Same goes for Toronto.

Until today, I was wondering whether we'd even GET a summer.

Lake Ontario is still too cold for me to swim in.

I'm finally getting around to launching my sloop, hoping for a warm autumn.

Sloop?? Oh I am so jealous.. Went for a motorcycle ride saturday it was chilly without a least a sweatshirt. Have fun out there and post a photo.. Make us all jealous.

Your post exemplifies the problem with having this discussion. How can you refute the opinion of the majority of climatologists and all of the major international institutions studying the climate, by quoting a comment from an unknown person who cited no references? Basically that's like saying, "Some guy came up to me on the street and told me this, and I believe it because he sounded legit."

So any reporting on the climate is invalidated without "sensor calibration certifications and the proof that those have a chain of custody to prove they are valid?" Was somebody refusing to answer questions? What are your qualifications? (don't forget the bona fides!)

What are the certifications and educational certificates of the data crunches and programmers?

About a million times more than you have?

So can you answer this?

Is this the same NOAA that has "miscalculated" temperature adjustments here recently? Did they not admit to this?

After all of the miscalculation, you are going to go shouting through the bullhorn over a
1/20th temperature increase.

1/20th of a degree really?

Could there not be a few variables in there that would affect the temp 1/20th of a degree. Especially for an average.

It's been in the low 70s here the past few days, when usually we are averaging mid 80s this time of year. This winter was the coldest we've had in as long as I can remember. Temperatures in the negatives for days almost a week on end, and wind chill pushing -50 degrees F. Where? Southwest Pennsylvania. After this year, winter especially, I wouldn't mind having some of the rest of the worlds record heat.

And he says 1/20th of a degree above the "20th Centuries average"! Really?? 1/20th of a degree above the average for a 100 year period, while we are only in the first 14 years of this 100 year cycle.

My post exemplifies nothing because I wrote two lines, so you are presuming to know something about me that you don't.

I didn't refute anything, I simply passed along someone's comments on the same page that the OP linked.

If I PERSONALLY provided that information on this forum, I would provide my sources, but as I said in my post that you obviously didn't read - "don't shoot the messenger".

If you don't like what I posted, go take it up with the poster on the OPs source.

Where is it hotter. There must be a few regions, like California is having a drought but I think they're doing that on purpose.

I know its hot around Yellowstone.

However, the temperatures in the South Okanagan were hotter when I was growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80's than they are now. We would get over 100 F, 104, its not that hot this summer actually, a few warm days, and swimming, then clouded over.
