GISS September global temperature down by 0.06°C from August.

The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 0.88°C in September 2022, down from 0.94°C in August. This drop is very similar to the 0.061°C fall reported for TempLS.

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

September global surface TempLS down 0.061°C from August.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 0.728°C in September, down from 0.789°C in August. The NCEP/NCAR reanalysis base index rose by 0.156°C, an unusually large discrepancy.

The main feature is a band of cold from E Europe through N Siberia, with just below a band of warmth from the Mediterranean through N of China. N America was mostly warm. Still cool in the tropical E Pacific.

Here is the temperature map, using now the FEM-based map of anomalies.

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.
