he National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) latest monthly climate report confirms
that 2015 will crush previous global temperature records.
That’s especially true up here in the northern hemisphere,
where the first half of 2015 is a remarkable 0.36°F warmer than the first half
of any year since records started being kept 135 years ago.
Here are some of the other records for “combined average
temperature over global land and ocean surfaces” in the dataset for the month
of June from the years 1880 to 2015:
Hottest first half of any year (January-June) at “1.53°F
(0.85°C) above the 20th century average … surpassing the previous record of
2010 by 0.16°F (0.09°C).”
Hottest June at “1.58°F (0.88°C) above the 20th century
average … surpassing the previous record set last year in 2014 by 0.22°F
(0.12°C).”
