Looking back at November for the World December 19, 2023 – Earth had its Warmest November Ever Since Reliable Data has been Available.

Most of the information in this report comes from the monthly email I receive from John Bateman. He does public outreach for NOAA and in particular NCEI. I could find the same information and more on the NCEI website but John produces a good summary so I use it or most of it. I also sometimes add additional information from NCEI or other NOAA websites. The full NCEI report for November can be accessed HERE.

I added the below to what John Bateman provided.

This November saw a huge jump. Remember this is the data for both land and water.

This looks just at land but the trend is similar.  In fact the regression line is even steeper.

 

This is just North America. It is more than just the U.S.  and the slope of the regression line is even steeper. But for North America, unlike the world, November did not set a new record.

This shows selected anomalies but it mostly covers temperature around the world.
