With the UAH and CRUT yet to report their May numbers it's time for
the call of the board among the data series we monitor on A.G-W.
Of the 96 series from the US, UK and Europe we follow 70 have
recorded record warm for the past 12m Jun23-May24.
The only data-series to fall out of the top 10 are the UAH
data for the lower stratosphere that has been cooling since
records began in the 1970s but for the past 12m has been
above the trend.
With so many data ranking "warmest on record" going back up to
175y the stand-outs are those series showing an average for the
past 12m approaching 3C above normal -- notably the NOAA's Arc and
Arcland series.
Other NASA, NOAA, Hadley, Berkeley and UAH series (22 of them)
show warming more than 1C above baselines that mostly refer to 30y
periods centered on the 1980s.
