Global Temperature Increases

Global Deviations

• Global deviations by world region.
• 2-week and 3-month average deviations, in Fahrenheit.
• The charts show the year July 1, 2012 to July 1, 2013.

• Click a region name to bring up a plot of temperature deviations from normal for the region in a new window.
• When finished viewing the charts you select, close them by using "X-Out" on the pages in Internet Explorer, or on their tabs in Mozilla Firefox.

  The table shows shows 2-week and 3-month deviations in Fahrenheit averaged over all stations in a given region.  These deviations relate directly to the question of how current temperatures compare in general with the historical record when day-to-day "noise" has been reduced by the averaging.
 
 
The region's 2-week deviation is indicated in magenta.
The average of the 2-week deviations for the past 3 months is shown in green.
