Thought this was interesting:

The globally-averaged temperature for July 2013 was the sixth highest July
since record keeping began in 1880.
It also marked the 37th consecutive July and 341st consecutive month (more
than 28 years) with a globally-averaged temperature above the 20th-century
average.
The last globally-averaged below average July temperature was July 1976.

How ironic where the UK is concerned!

Which neatly points up how dangerous it can sometimes be to make
sweeping generalisations about global climate based on the weather in
the UK.

Indeed.
Just goes to show how small we are on a global basis and how
what happens on a monthly basis in this country is of no
relevance whatsoever in the great scheme of things.

Yes but as the temperature record is based on readings from the most developed countries then yes the global is heavily reliant on the UK for England figures. As for the USA which I believe is the largest record -well we all know that dodgy sitings of equipment have accounted for at least half the rise and then add to that the the way Nasa keeps revising the past downwards as seen with the dust bowl years then yes you have a false record.

I purely coincidently purchased a book from a charidee shop called 'Issacs Hurricane ' and I say coincidently as I bought it a couple of weeks before the recent anniversary of the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. It talks of the record breaking heat across the USA that summer with many dying and of the record cold the previous winter. It's late now and I've had a long hard day , but tomorrow I'll quote some of the weather depicted in this book named after the USA Met Office official for Galveston a chap with the name of Issac.

However for now I will only say that for political reasons nasa has tampered heavily with the largest resource for consistent weather records, the USA data.
