Global Average Temperature 2024

[chubbs]

GISS was another record in April. Probably, getting close to a peak in the 12-month average, May is the last month with before temperatures surged last year.  In hindsight the 2015-16 nino kicked us into a new global temperature range. Guessing this nino will also, but we will see. This nino is weaker than 2015./16.

It sounds like Dr. Hansen believes this is the peak of this El Niño cycle. Although it’s not all good news, as he also thinks we have surpassed 1.5C for all practical purposes.

SST including May to-date. The fall off from the nino peak continues, but the ride down is much slower than the ride up. The fall off is In-line with past ninos so far.

you know I think it'd be interesting to see this curve back to 1750 ... maybe 1700.  1750 is the widely/historically noted beginning of the IR.

A couple of SST datasets go back to 1850.  Some ups and downs between 1850 and the 1982 start of the satellite dataset I posted, but only a small increase. Most of the SST rise has occurred in the past 50 years and even that rise has been back-end loaded, with a couple of nino jumps in the past decade.
