The
TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 0.592°C in November, down from 0.809°C in October. October was getting warm, but the drop makes November the coldest month since February 2021. The
NCEP/NCAR reanalysis base index fell likewise by 0.219°C.
The main cold locations were the western USA (plus BC, Alberta) and Australia, and also Antarctica. Another cold spot in Canada's Arctic islands. But there was a band of warmth from W Europe to China. Perhaps significant for the near future was a not so cold 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.
