I'm not particularly surprised. Are you?
Globally, 5th warmest on record. I expect July will hit a similar record, given the news lately.
June 2018 was 5th warmest on record for the globe | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
• The average global temperature in June was 1.35 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 59.9 degrees.
• The year-to-date average global temperature was 1.39 degrees F above average of 56.3 degrees. This is 0.52 degree lower than the record high set in 2016 for the same YTD period.
• Arctic and Antarctic ice averages are below normal
For the US-only, 3rd warmest on record
June 2018 ranks third warmest on record for U.S. | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Of course, 1 month is not a trend, nor in isolation does this prove that the planet is warming. However, it's yet another data point, and I expect we'll be seeing results like this a lot moving forward.
