So Take Off All Your Clothes

2007 likely to be sixth warmest year on record, say researchers

Posted at 10:09 AM on 28 Nov 2007

The year 2007 is likely to tie with 2006 as the sixth warmest year on record, say British researchers who provide data to the World Meteorological Association. The researchers had predicted a year ago that 2007 might be the hottest evah, but it's instead likely to come in behind 1998, 2005, 2003, 2002, and 2004. Hey, those are all so recent! Wonder if that means something.

3rd Warmest?

According to the latest NCDC report, the year to date jan-oct is the third warmest. This year is so far only 0.04 degC lower than the record of 2005.

Furthermore the Northern Hemisphere land and land/ocean temperatures were the hottest on record when comparing the jan-oct period.

The Southern Hemisphere was cooler due to La Nina I think. The next El Nino will probably see all records fall.
