Global Temperatures In June
I know I haven't been keeping up with my monthly temperature summaries. I may go back to selected updates as we get further into the year, but the June statistics are in for the satellite data, and are worth bearing in mind whilst reading this article. Both UAH and RSS show June was hot globally. UAH has 2019 as the second hottest June in its 40 year record, only beaten by the super El Niño year of 1998. Whilst RSS has June as the hottest in its 40 year record, beating the previous record June by over 0.2°C.
The RSS anomaly map shows most of the globe was above average with the warmest anomalies in Western Europe and Northern Russia, but with the occasional colder spot, noticeably a cold blob just west of the UK and Ireland, and the USA is a mixture of above and below average spots.
