How hot was it last month globally? It was so hot that the famed Iditarod sled race in Alaska brought in extra snow from hundreds of miles away by train.

It was so hot that NASA now reports that last month beat the all-time global record for hottest February by a stunning 0.85°F, when such records are usually measured in hundredths of a degree.

Global mean surface temperature (anomaly from 1951-1980 mean). NASA data (h/t Tamino). Red dot is February.

It was so hot last month that large parts of the Arctic averaged more than 18°F (10°C) above normal. Not only did last month easily set the record for lowest February Arctic sea ice extent, as the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported, but Arctic sea ice growth has been almost flat for over a month during a time when it normally soars to its annual maximum.

It was so hot that February had the single biggest recorded monthly temperature anomaly (deviation from the 1951-1980 average temperature) — a whopping 2.4°F (1.35°C) above the average temperature for the month. The previous record deviation from the average — 2.0°F (1.13°C) — you may recall, was set in January.

It is becoming clear that global warming + the nino is doing some extreme stuff. We need to all agree as it is obvious.

Only that climate changes, as it always has.

Does this really look like "as it always has" to you?

And present temperatures are right off that chart.

Great news! Now weather = climate again and more places are habitable for people.

It is really amazing that you have no idea how utterly insane you always sound, WitheredMan.

Nothing in the OP even remotely hinted at your braindead comment that "Now weather = climate again".

Your crackpot conspiracy theories - "still using the cherry picked data" - about all of the world's scientists are as ridiculous and absurd as always.

How does it feel to be a retarded troll, WitheredMan? You seem to be the 'expert' on that point.

warm? So what's wrong with it being 60 degrees in March? What temps do you think those in the Northern Hemisphere ought to have? BTW, an average temperature is not a normal temperature. Just so you don't pull that one out.

 

[Old Rocks]

jc waxing as stupid as is usual for him. Yes, this year will be another record breaker. And the dunderheads will claim if there is a year cooler than one of the last two years and this one, that we have just entered a new cooling trend. As opposed to the no show cooling trends that the fools have predicting for years.

And there is more of JustCrazy's usual vacuous, meaningless drivel.

BTW, little retard, "average temperature" DOES INDEED equal "normal temperature".

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service
Definitions
Climatology - The description and scientific study of climate. (2) A quantitative description of climate showing the characteristic values of climate variables over a region. (3) The 30-year average of a variable, like temperature, at a given location and time of year.

Climatological Normal - The prevailing set of weather conditions calculated over a 30-year period, presently 1981-2010. Note that the climatological normal taken over different periods of time (30 years, 1000 years) may be different.

Above Normal - One of the outlook categories that are based on the 1981-2010 climatological normal. During this 30 year reference period, average three-month temperature was observed in Above Normal category (10 warmest years) 1/3 (33.3%) of the time.

Near Normal - One of the outlook categories that are based on the 1981-2010 climatological normal. During this 30 year reference period, average three-month climate variable was observed in Near Normal category (the 10 years between the 10 warmest and the 10 coolest years) 1/3 (33.3%) of the time.

Below Normal - One of the outlook categories that are based on the 1981-2010 climatological normal. During this 30 year reference period, average three-month temperature was observed in Below Normal category (10 coolest years) 1/3 (33.3%) of the time.

Nothing. Was 80 F. and sunny here last week. Birdies chirping. Squirrels hopping about. Turned Vivaldi up for the neighbors.

What cherry picked data are you talking about? The 1951-1980 mean? Since all anomalies in the comparison are using the same baseline, why don't you explain to us how that affects the results of that comparison. Eh?

If I "parented" that? Did you perhaps mean parroted?

I fully admit it's an old baseline, but you failed to answer my question. As long as every value in the comparison is an anomaly from the same baseline, what does it matter?

PS "Have you thrown from the building". I hope you realize what a child such comments make you sound.
