October global surface TempLS up 0.141°C from September.

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.341°C in October, up from 1.20°C in September. It was the warmest October in the record, well ahead of 2023. If November and December are just a little warmer, that will make 2026 the warmest year in the record.
