Earth experiences hottest June on record
4:07 PM Tuesday Jul 22, 2014

Last month was the hottest June since record-keeping began in 1880, according to a monthly report by US government climate scientists.

The combined average temperature over land and ocean surfaces was a "record high for the month at 61.20 Fahrenheit (16.22 Celsius)," said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

That meant June was a total of 1.30F (0.72C) warmer than the 20th century average for the month, surpassing the last record high temperature for June set in 2010, said NOAA.

Taken alone, the ocean's global surface temperature in June was the highest for any month on record, breaking the past record set in 1998, NOAA added.

"Most of the world experienced warmer-than-average monthly temperatures, with record warmth across part of southeastern Greenland, parts of northern South America, areas in eastern and central Africa, and sections of southern and southeastern Asia," NOAA said in a statement.

"Similar to May, scattered sections across every major ocean basin were also record warm."

Sea ice in the Arctic declined faster than normal for June, and was nearly five per cent below the 1981-2010 average, NOAA said.

The findings are part of an ongoing trend of rising global temperatures.

June has been warmer than the 20th century average for 38 years in a row, the agency said.

Its report last month also found that May was a record-setter, also topping the previous high set in 2010.

The last time June broke records for being cooler than normal was in 1976.

BUT, seeing as this solar cycle was the quietest in over 100 years.........do you think that will subside global warming?

The wacky weather indicates that the shift in temps has caused a major upset in the planetary eco-systems. Glad I will likely miss 2030, bad times I see.

Or, to put another spin on it...maybe it has and we're just seeing the reduced version of the warming.  affraid

I have been reading on it and apparently it will not affect global warming.

“There is the possibility that we are heading into a grand minimum like the Maunder Minimum, but I think that even if we did — and there are studies by my colleagues that have looked at exactly that — if we did go into a grand minimum, with no sunspots for decades, would it stop global warming? And the answer was, no."
David Hathaway-
Solar Scientist.

The Maunder Minimum was a period of extremely low sunspot activity on the sun from 1645 to 1715. There were decades with no sunspots at all, something that is incredibly rare.

But they didn't have so much CO2 released into the atmosphere then.
