Climate.gov had the following: The 2022 surface temperature was 1.55 °F (0.86 °Celsius) warmer than the 20th-century average of 57.0 °F (13.9 °C) and 1.90 ˚F (1.06 ˚C) warmer than the pre-industrial period (1880-1900).
So, the average temperature of the planet in 2022 was 14.76C (58.55F). If you really dig, you can probably find a value for the planet good for the last day or so, but it takes time to gather all that data and do the number crunching. And seasonal cycles will bias the result unless you have 365 days of data.
Just found this: June's
61.79 degrees (16.55 degrees Celsius) global average was 1.89 degrees (1.05 degrees Celsius) above the 20th Century average, the first time globally a summer month was more than a degree Celsius hotter than normal, according to NOAA. --
Meteorologists: Earth sizzled to global heat record in June – and July is getting hotter.
And as I just said, there are seasonal biases. June is early summer in the northern hemisphere, which has most of the land. The 2023 annual average will probably be a little lower than that June reading (unless things really go south)
I think that's happened more than once and at both poles. But it doesn't take a continent's worth of ice to trap a single ship, just an unexpected change in wind direction. Those events are meaningless in this context. The satellite imagery data give accurate values for ice extents and it is indeed melting. That doesn't mean its all gone. The latest sea ice extent
minimum for Antarctica was 1.79 million square kilometers; more than enough to get stuck in. But in 1980 when satellite data begin, the minimum was just under 7 million square kilometers. So a lot of ice has melted there.
