Early note on March 2015 global

Most of the NCEP data for March global surface temperature is in, and despite some cooling at the end, it still looks to be a little warmer than February. Probably less than May 2014, but higher than any other month in 2014 (or 2015). I'd expect this to be reflected in surface temps.

I've fixed a bug where in the daily NCEP table, dates were written one day ahead (on Australian time). Dates on the maps were correct.

    My early guess is .83C. The day after yesterday is starting off like a Hollywood movie: -5.61C.

    Well, we're in good shape. UAH and RSS are lower, so the odds are now even better that reality is higher. April, though, is chilly so far.

    The low temps from RSS and UAH are useful in that they indicate we haven't seen too much influence from the building El Niño conditions yet. The satellite anamoly maps from RSS for 1998 just look crazy at the equator. I don't think we will see a record for those data sets until 2016 even if the current nino keeps building.
