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).
