The global average land surface temperature for July and January-July was warmest on record. The global ocean surface temperature for July was the fifth warmest, and for January-July 2010 was the second warmest on record, behind 1998.<\/p>\n<p>The monthly analysis from NOAA&#8217;s National Climatic Data Center, which  is based on records going back to 1880, is part of the suite of climate  services NOAA provides government, business and community leaders so  they can make informed decisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global Temperature Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature  for July 2010 was the second warmest on record at 61.6\u00b0F (16.5\u00b0C), which  is 1.19\u00b0F (0.66\u00b0C) above the 20th century average of 60.4\u00b0F (15.8\u00b0C).  The averaged temperature for July 1998 was 61.7\u00b0F (16.5\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The July worldwide land surface temperature was 1.85\u00b0F (1.03\u00b0C)  above the 20th century average of 57.8\u00b0F (14.3\u00b0C) &#8212; the warmest July on  record. Warmer-than-average conditions dominated land areas of the  globe. The most prominent warmth was in Europe, western Russia and  eastern Asia. Cooler-than-average regions included central Russia,  Alaska and southern South America.\n<ul>\n<li>According to the Finnish Meteorological Institute, Finland  set a new all-time maximum temperature on July 29 when temperatures  soared to 99.0\u00b0F (37.2\u00b0C), surpassing the previous record set in July  1914 by 2.3\u00b0F (1.3\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<li>Western Russia was engulfed by a severe heat wave during much  of July. On July 30, Moscow set a new all-time temperature record when  temperatures reached 102\u00b0F (39\u00b0C), exceeding the previous record of  99.0\u00b0F (37.2\u00b0C) set four days earlier. Before 2010, the highest maximum  temperature recorded in Moscow was 98.2\u00b0F (36.8\u00b0C), set nine decades  ago.<\/li>\n<li>According to the Beijing Climate Center, the July 2010  average temperature across China was 73.0\u00b0F (22.8\u00b0C), which is 2.5\u00b0F  (1.4\u00b0C) above the 1971-2000 average and the warmest July since 1961.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The worldwide ocean surface temperature was 0.97\u00b0F (0.54\u00b0C) above  the 20th century average of 61.5\u00b0F (16.4\u00b0C) and the fifth warmest July  on record. The warmth was most pronounced in the Atlantic Ocean.<\/li>\n<li>La Ni\u00f1a conditions developed during July 2010, as sea surface  temperatures (SST) continued to drop across the central and eastern  equatorial Pacific Ocean. According to NOAA&#8217;s Climate Prediction Center,  La Ni\u00f1a is expected to strengthen and last through the Northern  Hemisphere winter 2010-2011.<\/li>\n<li>For the year-to-date, the global combined land and ocean surface  temperature of 58.1\u00b0F (14.5\u00b0C) was the warmest January-July period on  record. This value is 1.22\u00b0F (0.68\u00b0C) above the 20th century average.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Polar Sea Ice and Precipitation Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arctic sea ice covered an average of 3.2 million square miles  (8.4 million square kilometers) during July. This is 16.9 percent below  the 1979-2000 average extent and the second lowest July extent since  records began in 1979. The record low July was set in 2007. This was the  14th consecutive July with below-average Arctic sea ice extent. July  1996 was the last year that had above-average sea ice extent.<\/li>\n<li>Antarctic sea ice extent in July was above average, 4.8 percent  above the 1979-2000 average &#8212; resulting in the largest July sea ice  extent on record.<\/li>\n<li>According to Australia&#8217;s Bureau of Meteorology, the continent  received an average of 34.4 mm (1.35 inches) of precipitation during  July 2010 &#8212; this is 55 percent above the 1961-1990 average and the  highest value since 1998.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noaanews.noaa.gov\/stories2010\/20100813_globalstats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NOAA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtesy of NOAA The combined global land and ocean surface temperature made this July the second warmest on record, behind 1998, and the warmest averaged January-July on record.
