The Version 5.6 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for July, 2014 is +0.31 deg. C, unchanged from June (click for full size version):
The global, hemispheric, and tropical LT anomalies from the 30-year (1981-2010) average for the last 19 months are:
Why yes, the last 13 years have not seen a big jump in temperature. Now look at the record prior to 1998. Very deep are rapid ups and downs. But after 1998, it just plateud at an average that is well above any average prior to 1998. But 1998 was a record El Nino. And 2010 was a moderate El Nino. And the 'low' July temperature for 2014 is higher than any month prior to 1998. Ever consider what the next strong El Nino is going to bring?
