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.
