RSS first out with an anomaly of +0.588C. 2nd warmest February in the
31-year squence to 1998. Still very warm globally.


UAH follows with an anomaly of +0.61C. Same as RSS in that it is the
2nd warmest, in their 31-year sequence, to Feb 1998. A very warm month
by the 2 satellite measures. The ground-based measures will be out
from around mid-month. Any comments and explanations from sceptics
would be good.


Why is it so warm?


GISS out today and it reflects the warmth of the two satellite
measures at +0.71C. The second warmest February in the 130 year
sequence and also the 4th warmest of any month in the GISS temperature
series. NOAA global figures should be out early this week.


March, so far, is warmer than February was, according to Roy Spencer
at UAH:

NOAA has February as the 6th warmest in its series. According to NOAA,
the southern hemisphere was the warmest on record.

The final February global surface temperature measure is out. Hadley
shows an anomaly of +0.46C. The 5th warmest February in their 160-year
series.
