130 I believe I erroneously said in the *last post(!) - we'll have to
wait for NOAA and GISS to confirm that one).

I'm really quite stunned at these figures. Surface series to come in
the second third of the month. How can you have temperatures that
warm
when La Nina conditions exist in the Pacific and we are in an
extended
solar minimum?

I smell a rat!

Record low temperatures across many parts of South America during
July. *I also did a few spot checks with temperatures in Australia a
few days later, and guess what, they were also below normal.

I know it has been exceptionally warm in Moscow, but didn't someone
also post that temperatures were well below normal on the Eastern side
of the High Pressure in Russia at the same time.

I take the constant data being churned out saying that it's been the X
warmest month in X number of years with a large pinch of salt these
days.

Is there any regard taken of the fact that there is more land mass in
the Northern Hemisphere compared to the Southern Hemisphere? *My point
being that there are large areas in the Southern Hemisphere without
any surface readings during what appears to have been a severe blast
of cold air from Antarctica mid month.

Lawrence Jenkins recently posted a URL showing unusually warm
temperatures in Antarctica (for the latitude and time of year).

Could the colder temperatures over South America & warmer temperatures
over Antarctica be due to a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SST) over
the Antarctic continent?- Hide quoted text -

The "cooler temperatures over South America" may be another case like
2007, when they turned out to be nothing of the sort overall. I may be
harping, but people keep repeating this story as if 60% of the
continent didn't exist.
