Home/BlogThe Version 6.1 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for February, 2025 was +0.50 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, up a little from the January, 2025 anomaly of +0.45 deg. C.
The Version 6.1 global area-averaged linear temperature trend (January 1979 through February 2025) remains at +0.15 deg/ C/decade (+0.22 C/decade over land, +0.13 C/decade over oceans).
The following table lists various regional Version 6.1 LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for the last 14 months (record highs are in red).

The full UAH Global Temperature Report, along with the LT global gridpoint anomaly image for February, 2025, and a more detailed analysis by John Christy, should be available within the next several days here.
The monthly anomalies for various regions for the four deep layers we monitor from satellites will be available in the next several days at the following locations:
Caused by the Arctic temps.
Yes, the HTE is still present in the Arctic and northwestern Europe.
How can this be? It is chilly at my house all month!
Here in south east Europe as well.
Coldest february since 2012.
4th warmest February, but statistically tied with February 1998. Here are the 10 warmest Febs on record.
2024 0.88
2016 0.70
2020 0.58
2025 0.50
1998 0.49
2010 0.30
2017 0.30
2019 0.21
2021 0.20
2002 0.14
Compared with 2017, the last year following a big El Nino, 2025, this year is 0.2C warmer.
Anything less than 60 years (20 years * 2) is just a statistical anomaly.
…(30 years * 2)…
Tell that to Monckton who will soon be spamming yet another 5 year pause.
I doubt it will stay like this, but based on the first two month of the year, 2025 is on track to be close to 2023. My current projection is 0.42 +/- 0.18C.

Strange how we allow oscillations but not anything around 60 years long.
A warm planet is a happy planet. 2025 is on track to be a good year.
The new Monckton Pause extends to 20 months and begins in 2023/06. The average anomaly during this period is 0.71 C.
The previous Monckton Pause peaked at 107 months beginning in 2014/06. The average anomaly during this period was 0.21 C. The warming rate since the beginning of the pause is +0.37 C.decade-1.
The leap from the previous pause to the current pause is currently 0.5 C.
silly stuff. bdgwx pays homage to the kind of snippet weather science that has informed his viewpoints.
since he fervently believes that natural weather semicycles don’t exceed 10 years and natural climate semicycles are never less than 50,000 years as stated by an element of mainstream climate science; the so-called Monckton pause is his favorite target to mock.
A ten year semicycle has long been recognized by NASA as a result of the motions of Saturn and Jupiter.
the monckton pause was likely a result of a cooling jupiter/saturn semicycle combined with the lowest energy solar cycle (#24) seen in 100 years. pretty much shattered the endless stream of propaganda that emerges from the science departments of our academic institutions.
but still ignored are longer termed solar cycle variations where high activity solar cycles form groupings of 6 or more cycles. Additionally institutional science also ignores the very interesting 2:1 orbit period ratio of uranus and neptune (84 and 165 years) with the recent completion of ~40 and ~80 year warming patterns as the jupiter and saturn influence also coincided.
kind a malfeasance seen in our national health science efforts. the more money poured into it the worse our national health has become. this is despite many amazing disease cures that have been discovered. waste, fraud, and abuse is obviously rampant. it like how the Soviets went through the Lysenko era bringing tens of millions more deaths to their citizens.
For climate predicting the next 40 years looks to be like the 40 year periods post 1878 and 1944. solar activity isn’t predictable but its worth noting that the 20th century represented unprecedented solar activity never seen before in the human observation of the sun.
