October global temperature is 0.75C

Posted on November 14, 2018 by Clive Best

Global averaged temperature for October 2018 was 0.75C based on merging GHCNV3 with HadSST3 and using spherical triangulation. This is a fairly large rise of  0.14C since September. The baseline for temperature anomalies is always 1961-1990. The annual value for … Continue reading →

July’s Hadcrut4.6(3D) = 0.65C

Posted on August 30, 2018 by Clive Best

My preferred method for calculating the global average temperature anomaly  for HADCRUT4.6 is by triangulating the measurements over the surface of a sphere. This gives almost identical results to those of Cowtan & Way but is a far simpler and … Continue reading →
