Posted Sat Jun 14 2014: from Phys.org:
Third warmest May in satellite record might portend record-setting El Nino http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1402712695
May 2014 was the third warmest May in the 35-year satellite-measured global temperature record, and the warmest May that wasn't during an El Niņo Pacific Ocean warming event, according to Dr. John Christy, a professor of atmospheric science and director of the Earth System Science Center at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. The global average temperature for May was 0.33 C (about 0.59 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than seasonal norms for the month. The warmest May was in 1998, during the "El Niņo of the century." Temperatures in May 1998 were 0.56 C (about 1.0 degrees F) warmer than normal. May 2010--also an El Niņo month--was second warmest at 0.45 C (0.81 degrees F).
