<h2> TempLS global temp down 0.02°C in February</h2>

The TempLS monthly anomaly for February 2013 was 0.417°C, down slightly from 0.433° in January. I had earlier calculated a rather larger drop, but more incoming data have reduced that. It's still rather early, but there are 3832 data points, which is quite a good number.

This contrasts with very large drops in the satellite indices. But again, they had risen much more in the previous month.
