New daily global temperature record

The daily global temperature record was broken three times in the last week, each time by a relatively minute amount. According to the ERAERA ERA stands for 'ECMWF Re-Analysis' and refers to a series of research projects at ECMWF which produced various datasets (ERA-Interim, ERA-40, etcetera). 5 data the warmest day occurred on the 22nd of July 2024, and stands at 17.16°C, which is +1.713 above the pre-industrial LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO., and well in excess of the +1.5°C threshold often quoted by the IPCCIPCC The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations responsible for advancing knowledge on human-induced climate change.

Monthly Global Temperatures

Now that the Copernicus program has made real-time daily global temperature data available, as well as producing daily graphs I can now also produce monthly, seasonal and annual charts by summing up the daily data. The chart above is of mean February temperatures from 1940 to 2024. The chart below is of February anomalies using the 1851-1900 baseline offset for the pre-industrial era, and shows that as well as being the warmest February on record, it also had a mean anomaly of 1.77°C above that baseline.
