May GISS Temp up by 0.03°C

GISS has posted its May estimate for global temperature anomaly, and in contrast to TempLS (down by 0.14°C) it showed a small rise, from 0.73°C in April to 0.76°C in May. Getting warm.

The comparison maps are below the jump.

Update: Gavin says there is a problem with China CLIMAT data. I can't see anything obvious, but it could be the cause of the big cold spot TempLS found there (GISS's was much smaller).
Update: Now I see the problem. It seems that the May China report is identical to April. That's the cause of my cool spot, and would have brought the temperatures down.


Here is the GISS map:



And here, with the same scale and color scheme, is the earlier TempLS map:


Also cooler in NW Canada, NW China down to India, and N Atlantic. Warmer in European Russia, and warmer than TempLS showed in Australia - I thought it was warm too.
