The three Brisbane sites’ daily averages changed only marginally on Sunday, with an overall average of 429 ppm for the day. Values fell substantially across the course of the day at Bellbird Park.
The latest estimate of global average temperature reported in the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS) version 2 data-set now stretches to 27 consecutive days (up to Saturday) above the temperature for any previous day in its 45 year record, and some scientists believe these are likely to be the highest global temperatures for about 120,000 years.
Today’s final figure shows sea surface temperature anomalies from the NOAA Optimum Interpolation SST (OISST) version 2.1. The colours indicate differences from the 1971-2000 baseline. The exceptionally warm areas across the Northern Hemisphere and the build-up of warm water in the Eastern Pacific are very clear. Overall, sea surface temperature has been higher than any value in the data-set for each date for over four months. As of Saturday the world’s sea surface temperature was 4 standard deviations above the mean for that date.
Daily Averages – Phase 2 (See explanation of differences between Phase 1 and Phase 2 data)
For reference, latest monthly average (June 2023) from CSIRO for Kennaook/Cape Grim in NW Tasmania was 416.1 ppm. (Note – these are provisional values, subject to revision folllowing sensor re-calibrations and other checks.)
