July 2016 Was Earth's Warmest Month on Record

August 17, 2016

Global mean temperatures in July 2016 were the warmest on record not just for July, but for any month dating to the late 1800s, according to four separate newly-released analyses.

A state of the climate report issued by NOAA Wednesday said that July 2016 was Earth's warmest month in records dating to 1880.

The average temperature for the globe was 0.87 degrees Celsius above the 20th century average. This beat the previous warmest month on record set in July 2015 which was 0.81 degrees Celsius above average.

July is typically the warmest month of the year globally because the Northern Hemisphere has more land masses than the Southern Hemisphere. Land can heat faster and further than the ocean can, so the Southern Hemisphere cannot get as warm as easily in their summer. 

NOAA said that July 2016 also marked the 15th consecutive warmest month on record for the globe. That is the longest stretch of months in a row that a global temperature record has been set in their dataset.

Given that the first seven months of 2016 have all been record warm, the planet has also had its warmest January-July on record. Parts of Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Australia had a record warm January-July in 2016.

This year will likely end up being the earth's warmest year on record, topping both 2015 and 2014.

 

Three More Agencies Confirm Earth's Warmest Month Was July 2016

NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies also found July 2016 was the globe's warmest July in their dataset dating to 1880.

The temperature anomaly of 0.84 degrees Celsius above average topped the previous warmest July in 2011 by 0.1 degree, according to NASA's analysis released Monday.

This marked the tenth straight month setting a warm record for that month in NASA's analysis.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency found July 2016 topped 2015 as the globe's warmest July dating to 1891.

Three of the top four warmest Julys on record have occurred in the past three years, according to the JMA analysis

Since May 2015, 14 of 15 months have either tied or set new records for that month in the JMA dataset. Only May 2016 (second warmest) failed to do so.

Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), operated by the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), calculated the global average July temperature was nearly one-fifth of a degree Celsius higher than previous July temperature records set in 2015 and in 2009, in their dataset dating to 1979.

Compared to the July average, the south-central part of the United States including Texas and into northern Mexico were the most anomalously warm for North America.

Globally, portions of western Russia and the Southern Ocean were warmest compared to average. 

In Russia, fires and an anthrax outbreak have been blamed on warmer than average temperatures. 

This is not to say that this is the warmest the Earth has ever been, but it is the warmest since we humans have been recording temperatures. Some locations on Earth may still be cooler than average.

Our weather here in N. MN has been pretty tame this summer so far.  Nice.  Just a few days in the high 80's.  Mostly mid-70's...touching on the low 80 area.  It was a bit hotter last year.  I hope it stays.

Hey...you guys in the North East have a lot of homes with central air?  We don't.  In fact, up here...it's kinda rare.

About the same here as far as temps go this summer. But areas not far from us in southern VT & NH have been very warm this summer.

Very rare here in northern VT & NH, too. The further south you go the more likely you are to see central air.

Are humans having any effect on the Earths climate?  :snack:

We have gone through this many times.  State your opinion first, then you might have a chance for a good discussion.  Otherwise you will be considered the troll that you are.

Now - I believe in Human induced climate change as does most of the scientific community.  And you? :snack:

Ha, I feel empowered because I see the stupidity in every one of your posts.  From your iq posts, by comparison, I feel pretty good.  And I mean that in the meanest way possible.  Of course, with an iq that high you must be just bored being a little light bulb salesman.  LOL.

there is more at play than what humans have caused, the Earth's temp has been rising and falling for billions of years no amount of liberal taxing will change that but believe what you want to believe blownlightbulbrider
