UAH Global Temperature Update for June 2021: -0.01 deg. C

July 2nd, 2021 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for June, 2021 was -0.01 deg. C, down from the May, 2021 value of +0.08 deg. C.

REMINDER: We have changed the 30-year averaging period from which we compute anomalies to 1991-2020, from the old period 1981-2010. This change does not affect the temperature trends.

The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.14 C/decade (+0.12 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).

Various regional LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for the last 18 months are:

Despite the near-normal global average temperatures, the USA Lower 48 temperature anomaly of +1.44 deg. C was the warmest in the 43 year satellite record, ahead of +1.15 deg. C in 1988. In contrast, the Antarctic region (poleward of 60 S latitude) experienced its 2nd coldest June (-1.25 deg. C below the 30-year baseline), behind -1.34 deg. C in June, 2017.

  2. Test says:

    And always, always the same mmanipulation

    ” When Newton used the term revolving on its axis, he obviously meant the Moon was revolving about the Earth as its axis. ”

    made by insidiously taking a portion of Newton’s wording out of its context:

    ” Jupiter revolvitur horis 9. 56′, Mars horis 24. 39′. Venus horis 23. circiter, Terra horis 23. 56′, Sol diebus 25 1/2, et Luna diebus 27 7 hor. 43′ ”

    Thus, when Newton mentions Earth and writes : ” Terra horis 23. 56′ “, he of course means Earth’s rotation about its axis, exactly like for Jupiter, Mars, Venus… and the Sun.

    But, but… according to Robertson, the ignorant denialist-in-chief, when Newton mentions the Moon and writes ” et Luna diebus 27. 7. hor. 43′ “, he of course means Moon’s orbit around Earth!

    And that in one and the same sentence!

    It’s as if Robertson were making us think that Newton was a moron at the time he wrote what we’re discussing.
