From Dr. Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama-Huntsville, September 2:
UAH Global Temperature Update for August, 2024: +0.88 deg. C
The Version 6 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for August, 2024 was +0.88 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, up slightly from the July, 2024 anomaly of +0.85 deg. C.
Persistent global-averaged warmth was (unusually) contributed to this month by the Southern Hemisphere. Of the 27 regions we routinely monitor, 5 of them set record-warm (or near-record) high monthly temperature anomalies in August, all due to contributions from the Southern Hemisphere:
Global land: +1.35 deg. C
Southern Hemisphere land: +1.87 deg. C
Southern Hemisphere extratropical land: +2.23 deg. C
Antarctica: +3.31 deg. C (2nd place, previous record was +3.37 deg. C, Aug. 1996)
Australia: +1.80 deg. C.
The linear warming trend since January, 1979 now stands at +0.16 C/decade (+0.14 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.21 C/decade over global-averaged land)....

Here's a prop bet for you. By May 15, 2026 we will see the satellite-May 5 UAH Global Temperature Update: April Sees New High Temperature Anomaly For The Satellite Erameasured-inferred global lower atmospheric temperature anomaly decline by at least 1/2 degree C. [to +0.45 deg. C]
The two keepers of the satellite record are Remote Sensing Systems in Santa Rosa CA and the University of Alabama-Huntsville....
Great, just effin' great. I had to go shooting my mouth off with a prop bet on May 2, couldn't wait for the new number to be released, no sirree, had to be posted when the memory to post it was triggered...
