GISS October global temperature up by 0.07°C from September.

The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 0.96°C in October 2022, up from 0.89°C in September. This rise is similar to the 0.094°C rise reported for TempLS.

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

October global surface TempLS up 0.094°C from September.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 0.817°C in October, up from 0.723°C in September. The NCEP/NCAR reanalysis base index rose likewise by 0.104°C.

The main feature is a band of warmth right through northern latitudes of N America and Eurasia, exienting through the Mediterranean to N Africa. There were cool spots in far East Siberia and the SE US. Cool in Australia except for far North, and still cool in the tropical 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.
