HadCRUT3 current month

These two figures show the global temperature anomaly distribution for the most recent month for which there is data in HadCRUT3.

The first plot shows the monthly anomalies; a plus sign in any grid box indicates that the temperature anomaly in that grid box this month is the highest since the dataset starts in January 1850. Similarly a minus sign signals the lowest anomaly since 1850.

The second figure highlights regions with values which are unusual compared with the 1961-90 averages. The plot shows the regions which exceed the highest (or lowest) 10% and 2% of values seen in the climatology period.
