GISS August global temperature up by 0.09°C from July.

The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 1.3°C in August, up from 1.21°C in July. This rise was similar to the 0.065°C rise reported here for TempLS.

As with TempLS, August was the warmest August in the record - next was 1.19°C in 2023.

As usual here, I will compare the GISS and earlier TempLS plots below the jump.

August global surface TempLS up 0.065°C from July, warmest August in record.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.161°C in August, up from 1.096°C in July. It was, by a small margin, the warmest August in the record, ahead of 1.108°C in 2023. That makes 15 record months in a row, which is an amazing run.

Here is the corresponding stacked graph, showing how much hotter recent months have been:

As always, the 3D globe map gives better detail. There are more graphs and a station map in the ongoing report which is updated daily.

GISS July global temperature down by 0.04°C from June.

The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 1.21°C in July, down from 1.25°C in June. This fall contrasts with the tie reported here for TempLS.

As with TempLS, July was by a whisker the warmest July in the record - next was 1.19°C in 2023.

As usual here, I will compare the GISS and earlier TempLS plots below the jump.

July global surface TempLS up 0.001°C from June, warmest July in record.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.084°C in July, up from 1.083°C in June. This of course is a virtual tie, and could be reversed with further data It was, by a whisker, the warmest July in the record, ahead of 1.072°C in 2023. That makes 14 record months in a row.

GISS June global temperature up by 0.05°C from May.

The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 1.21°C in June, up from 1.16°C in May. This rise is similar to the 0.03°C reported here for TempLS.

As with TempLS, June was the warmest June in the record - next was 1.08°C in 2023.

As usual here, I will compare the GISS and earlier TempLS plots below the jump.

June global surface TempLSup 0.030°C from May, warmest June in record.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.059°C in June, up from 1.029°C in May. It was the warmest June in the record, ahead of 0.95°C in 2023. The NCEP/NCAR reanalysis base index fell by 0.013°C.

That makes 13 record months in a row; and June 2024 is even close to July 2023, so it may not be the last of this run. It is looking even more likely that 2024 will be a record warm year, well ahead even of 2023.

GISS May global temperature down by 0.19°C from April.

The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 1.14°C in May, down from 1.33°C in April. This fall is similar to the 0.168°C reported here for TempLS.

As with TempLS, May was the warmest May in the record - next was 1.01°C in 2020.

I mentioned in the earlier post that the TempLS was made on a reduced number of stations that had reported.    Even now only 3303 non-US stations have reported, whereas last year there would have been over 4000. So it seems to be a permament change.

As usual here, I will compare the GISS and earlier TempLS plots below the jump.
