[paste:font size="5"]July global surface temperature up 0.11°C
[/paste:font]
TempLS mesh anomaly (1961-90 base) was up from 0.568°C in June to 0.679°C in July. This follows the
smaller rise of 0.06°C in the NCEP/NCAR index, and a
similar rise (0.07) in the UAH LT satellite index. The July value is just a whisker short of July 2016, which was a record warm month. With results for Mexico and Peru still to come, that could change..
Again the dominant change was in Antarctica, from very cold in June to just above average in July. On this basis, I'd expect GISS to also rise; NOAA and HADCRUT not so much. Otherwise as with the
reanalysis, Middle East and around Mongolia were warm, also Australia and Western USA. Nowhere very hot or cold. Here is the map:
