Monthly global temperature between 1850 and 2019 (compared to 1961-1990 average monthly temperature). It has been more than 25 years since a month has been cooler than normal. [OC]
Its interesting seeing Krakatoa interrupt the warming for ten years in 1883, its vast tonnage of airborne particulates blocking out the sun's heat - those were the years the famous paintings of ice skating on the Thames, iirc. Ripper era too - luckily only happens once in a blue moon...

In February 1878 was the premiere of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony. It was so lit it set a record for the hottest February for a century!
Seriously though, why was that month so hot?

I live in Finland and this winter has been ridiculous.
Last year, -20C avg, it would even hit -36C where I lived at times.
Right now, 2C; Tomorrow 7C.
I might as well get ready for potato season.
Finland tropical paradise 2077 :DDDDD get your shades ready and drink your coconuts.
