To say that the estimated global temperature for July made it the warmest on record of any month since 1850, it seems that no one bothered to let August know, and August had no intention of following suit, at least in our corner of the world.
- Iceland was noticeably colder than average again.
- The record high SSTSST Sea Surface Temperatures kept the North Atlantic ~ 1°C above the LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO..
- The intense heatwave in southern France seems to have been cancelled out by an equally cold start to August that no one seemed to notice.
