Warmest May on record

EcoLogicLee discusses the recent NOAA report.

May 2010 was the warmest May on record,  and the periods January through May and March through May, 2010 were the warmest comparable periods on record.

Bottom line

Each of the 10 warmest average global temperatures recorded since 1880 have occurred in the last fifteen years. The warmest year-to-date on record, through May, was 1998, and 2010 is warmer so far (note: although 1998 was the warmest year through May, a late-year warm surge in 2005 made that year the warmest total year).
