And not by much. Only 0.06C cooler than in the warmest global July on record, at the peak of the great El Nino of 1998. Only last year and 2010 were a few hundredths of a degree warmer. And we are only just emerging from a double-dip La Nina. The expected cooling off just isn't being seen, which is worrying. Roy Spencer, of course, makes no mention of this:

It'll be interesting to see to what levels global temperatures rise later next year, from this very high base. An El Nino, starting later this year and continuing into 2019 is now likely:

Expect more of the same, with summer heatwaves around the world, in years to come.
