May the fifth record warm month this year

And there can’t be six, since the year is only five months old.

It’s now even more likely that 2016 will be the hottest year ever recorded, despite the demise of one of the strongest El Niños on record.

NASA put May at 1.67°F (0.93°C) warmer than the 1951-1980 average for the month, the first month since October 2015 to be less than 1.8°F (1°C) above average in their dataset, which extends back to 1880.

So far this year every month has been record warm. February and March actually set consecutive records for the most anomalously warm month, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). February retained that record by NASA’s reckoning.

    5 out Of 5 “We’re # 1”. I guess a hat trick would be 12 in a row.

    I saw a Phoenix weather forecast this morning calling for 119 degrees air temp tomorrow.

    The year is young… and Jim Inhofe bought a Slushie machine to make his own snowballs.
