October global surface TempLS down 0.011°C from September.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.042°C in October, down from 1.053°C in September. It was the third warmest October in the record, behind 2023 and 2024.

There were 2489 land stations outside the US included, well short of the 3200 I would normally wait for. Japan MA data is included, which gives reasonable coverage. There is unlikely to be more data; September still has only about 2483.

Here is the corresponding stacked graph:

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.
