New global temperature records are normally accompanies by an El Niño event but 2014 is well on the way without one. NASA reported at the weekend that last month was the warmest September globally since records began being kept in 1880. The first nine months of this year are already close to a record high level as well – 0.65 degrees Centigrade higher than the long term average compared with the 0.67 degree record nine months in 2010.
According to Columbia University’s Earth Institute there is a better than 50% chance that a mild El Niño will arrive by year’s end to push temperatures to a new record high level.
