The Version 6 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for July, 2024 was +0.85 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, up from the June, 2024 anomaly of +0.80 deg. C.
The linear warming trend since January, 1979 now stands at +0.15 C/decade (+0.13 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.21 C/decade over global-averaged land).
The following table lists various regional LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for the last 19 months (record highs are in red):
