In it I noted that my part of the UK had experienced a very cold winter, and I also observed that the database of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was showing a 0.52C year-on-year fall in global land and ocean surface temperature between February 2020 and February 2021. Since I wrote that, I have been keeping an eye on NOAA\u2019s monthly global climate report with a view to seeing whether or not that cooling trend was continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strange thing I have noticed is that although land temperatures don\u2019t seem to be doing anything dramatic, NOAA\u2019s monthly reports are full of hyperbole about global temperatures generally. For instance, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncei.noaa.gov\/access\/monitoring\/monthly-report\/global\/202304\">report<\/a>&nbsp;published earlier this month in respect of April 2023 assures us that \u201c<em>April 2023 was the fourth-warmest April for the globe in NOAA\u2019s 174-year record.<\/em>\u201d Yet, at the same time, we learn that although \u201c<em>Africa had its fourth-warmest April on record\u201d, \u201cSouth America tied 2007 for its ninth-warmest April\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>and<em>&nbsp;<\/em>it was only the 22<sup>nd<\/sup><em>&nbsp;<\/em>warmest April on record in Asia, with the smallest April temperature anomaly since April 2010. In Pakistan, the national mean temperature for April was actually 0.26\u00b0C below the average. Meanwhile, North America, Europe and Oceania all saw April 2023 ranking outside the 20 warmest Aprils on record. Arctic sea ice saw only the eleventh smallest April extent on record (tied with April 2004). We are told that parts of Antarctica saw temperatures above average, but parts were below average, so there\u2019s nothing much to see there either. Intriguingly, we also learn that \u201c<em>[l]ess than 1% of the world\u2019s surface had a record-cold April.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;That sounds pretty undramatic, but it does mean that some parts of the earth\u2019s land mass saw a record cold month in records going back 174 years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Coinciding with the release of the January 2023 Global Climate Report, the NOAA Global Surface Temperature (NOAAGlobalTemp) dataset version 5.1.0 replaced version 5.0.0. This new version includes complete global coverage and an extension of the data record back in time an additional 30 years to January 1850.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the year to date, it\u2019s a similar story:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The January\u2013April global surface temperature also ranked fourth warmest in the 174-year record at 1.03\u00b0C (1.85\u00b0F) above the 1901\u20132000 average of 12.6\u00b0C (54.8\u00b0F). According to NCEI\u2019s statistical analysis, the year 2023 is very likely to rank among the 10 warmest years on record.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, global warming continues unabated, then. Or does it? Not on land, it doesn\u2019t. So far as the year to date is concerned, Europe and Africa apparently both come in with the third warmest, but South America saw only its seventh warmest first four months of the year, while Asia came in with the ninth warmest, North America with its fifteenth warmest, and Oceania tied with 1992 for the twenty-third warmest start to the year to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is the explanation? It seems to be that sea surface temperature warming is ongoing&nbsp;<em>(\u201cGlobal ocean temperatures set a record high for Apr, and marked the second-highest ocean temperature on record for any month<\/em>\u201d)<em>,<\/em>&nbsp;but that temperatures on land aren\u2019t being so obliging to the alarmists. I thought I\u2019d take a look at land temperature anomalies, and since 2016 is still said to be the warmest year on record, that seemed like a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The global temperature across land surfaces for April 2016 set a new record, at 1.93C above the 20<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century average. By April 2017 that anomaly had collapsed to just 1.37C above the twentieth century average, and was the joint fourth highest April temperature in the (then) 130 year record, the same as 2000 and 2010. April 2018 saw another fall, albeit more modest, to 1.31C above the average, and was thus only the ninth warmest April within the database. April 2019 saw rising temperatures, and came in at 1.48C above the average, making it the joint third April (tied with 2012). April 2020 saw another rise, to 1.66C above the average, and the excitement was palpable \u2013 it was second only to 2016. April 2021, however, saw the significant temperature drop I noticed when writing two years ago. It was just 1.25C above the twentieth century average, and was in a paltry twelfth place in the record books. April 2022 came in at 1.45C, warming alarmist hearts, as it was back up to sixth place. Yet April this year was cooler again, at just 1.31C above the twentieth century average, and registering 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;place in the record books. So here we are with land temperatures in April 2023 sitting at a whopping 0.62C below the record set in April 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, nobody will be talking about that. Interestingly, the northern hemisphere land temperature in April 2023 was only the 17<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;highest on record, yet the southern hemisphere land temperature is said to be the second highest on record. Year to date, by the way, sees southern hemisphere land temperatures as the tenth warmest on record, but northern hemisphere land temperatures as the fourth highest on record. Make of all that what you will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, I would welcome an explanation as to how the southern hemisphere land temperature for April 2023 can be the second highest on record, while its constituent parts were all ranking much lower in the record books. Remember \u2013 South America joint 9<sup>th<\/sup>; Oceania outside the top twenty; Asia (granted it\u2019s more a northern than a southern hemisphere continent), 22<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;warmest; and Africa (also straddling the equator), fourth warmest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t help wondering if there\u2019s really much point to all of this. I\u2019d also like to know more about the latest dataset version, but that\u2019s for another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote\u00a0Global Cooling\u00a0almost exactly two years ago.
