February global surface TempLS up 0.15°C from January.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.041°C in February, up from 0.089°C in January. It was the fifthwarmest February in the record, just behind 2024.

I mentioned an intention to compile monthly averages from GHCN Daily, to try to overcome the fitful posting of GHCN V4 monthly lately. I tried that as February results came in, but it was actually slower.

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.
