Global Temperature Report: July 2016
July 2016 ties as warmest July in
tropics
Global climate trend since Nov. 16, 1978: +0.12 C per
decade
July temperatures (preliminary)
Global composite temp.: +0.39 C (about 0.70 degrees
Fahrenheit) above 30
-year average for July.
Northern Hemisphere
: +0.48 C (about 0.86 degrees
Fahrenheit) above 30
-year average for July.
Southern Hemisphere: +0.30 C (about 0.54 degrees
Fahrenheit) above 30
-year average for July.
Tropics: +0.48 C (about 0.86 degrees Fahrenheit) above 30
-year average for July.
Notes on data released August 2, 2016:
The El Niño Pacific Ocean warming event didn’t continue to
fade in July, and global average temperatures
—
as well as
averaged temperatures in both hemi
spheres and the tropics
—
rebounded slightly during the month, according to Dr.
John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at
The University of Alabama in Huntsville. “Temperatures tend
to bounce around a little from month to month, even dur
ing
general trends such as what we see as El Niños and La Niñas
come and go. July’s warming isn’t unique. These little bumps
also were seen in the cooling after other ENSOs.”
NOAA’s El Niño region sea surface temperature
measurements indicate a pause in t
he recent El Niño’s
cooling since its peak in February. Sea surface temperatures
in the eastern equatorial Pacific are a little cooler than the
overall average for this time of year. NOAA forecasters say
the likelihood a La Niña Pacific Ocean cooling event
will form
between August through October has dropped to between
55 and 60 percent.

Looks as if the La Nina is not going to get here soon enough to prevent this from being another record warm year.
