Second Warmest July on Record Globally, according to NASA

[lkdood]

NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) has determined that July of 2009 was the second warmest July globally, since records were kept going back well over a hundred years.

The global land-ocean temperature anomaly for July 2009 was +.60 Celsius or +1.08 F. Only July of 1998 (a strong el nino year) was warmer.

The image below shows the July 2009 anomalies across the globe (warm is red, cool is blue). Clearly the reds and oranges far outweigh the blues on this map.

Here is a look at the same data from poleward......

I also wanted to show the overall global temperature trends since 2000 and 2005 for just the month of July.......

Temperature trend between July 2000 and July 2009. Reds and oranges indicate a warming trend, blues indicate a cooling trend.

The graph below shows where the greatest warming and cooling (latitude) took place during the July 2000-2009 period.

Here are the same two images, but this time using the July 2005 to July 2009 time period. Note: Many more regions have seen a cooling trend compared to the longer July 2000-2009 period.
