GISS August global temperature up by 0.09°C from July.

The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 1.3°C in August, up from 1.21°C in July. This rise was similar to the 0.065°C rise reported here for TempLS.

As with TempLS, August was the warmest August in the record - next was 1.19°C in 2023.

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

August global surface TempLS up 0.065°C from July, warmest August in record.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.161°C in August, up from 1.096°C in July. It was, by a small margin, the warmest August in the record, ahead of 1.108°C in 2023. That makes 15 record months in a row, which is an amazing run.

Here is the corresponding stacked graph, showing how much hotter recent months have been:

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.
