November 2013: Hottest Global Average Temperature Month Ever Recorded



Land and ocean temperatures around the world soared in November 2013, making it the hottest month since 1880, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Most regions in Africa, Eurasia and South America experienced a warmer-than-usual November along with parts of Southwest Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean, the agency said.

"The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for November 2013 was record highest for the 134-year period of record, at 0.78°C (1.40°F) above the 20th century average of 12.9°C (55.2°F)," according to the report by NOAA.

However, the U.S. was among a group of few places on earth that had a cooler-than-average November. Along with North America, parts of Greenland and Australia had lower temperatures during last month.

This is the 37th consecutive November that has had higher-than-usual temperature when compared with the 20th century average.

And for all those deniers talking about how cold they are now, maybe they can try and be consistent when they are broiling next summer. But I doubt it.
