October global surface TempLS up 0.05°C from September,.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.133°C in October, up from 1.083°C in September. It was not quite as warm as Oct 2023, but well clear of any earlier October (2023 0.922°C)

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


The main thing to note now is that Oct was close to the 2024 YTD average, making it even more certain that 2024 will be a record year.

Here is the temperature map, using the FEM-based map of anomalies. Use the arrows to see different 2D projections.

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.
