May 2014 third warmest May on record
2014-06-16 12:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: May 2014 was the third warmest May since global temperature satellite measurements began 35 years ago, scientists have revealed. The global average temperature for the month was 0.33C warmer than usual, making it the hottest month on the satellite record that did not fall during an El Nio weather event. El Nio is a climate phenomenon caused by a periodic warming in sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. The impacts of this are felt all over the world, ranging from warmer, drier seasons...
The Coming El Nio Could Lead To Warmest Year On Record
2014-05-20 15:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SFist: Climate scientists are all pretty well on board with the prediction that this coming winter is going to be a severe El Nio season. And for those who did not live in Northern California during the winter of '97/'98, that means we're in for some serious, non-stop rain, and a period of dreariness that will be the opposite of this shiny, sunny summer we just had. But now at least one scientist is linking El Nio to spikes in overall average temperatures around the globe, and suggesting that 2015 is...

Climate Central: March 2014 was the fourth-warmest March on record globally, according to recently released NASA data, making it the 349th month -- more than 29 years -- in which global temperatures were above the historic average. The amounts that temperatures around the world differed from the historic average. The planet's average March temperature was 57.9°F -- 0.7°C (or 1.2°F) above the average temperature from 1951-1980 -- behind only the March of 2002, 2010 and 1990, in that order. Data is still coming...

Blue and Green: The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) has revealed that 2001-2010 was the warmest decade on record, while 13 of the 14 warmest years in recorded history have occurred in the 21st century. The WMO previously said that 2013 had been the sixth warmest year on record and stressed the dramatic impact that floods and droughts have had around the world. The UN agency made it clear in its latest annual climate statement that there was no standstill in global warming and that each of the last...

2014-03-18 09:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: California is coming off of its warmest winter on record, aggravating an enduring drought in the most populous U.S. state, federal weather scientists said Monday. The state had a average temperature of 48 Fahrenheit (9 Celsius) for December, January and February, an increase from 47.2 F in 1980-81, the last hottest winter, and more than 4 degrees hotter than the 20th-century average in California, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said in a statement. Warmer winters could...
