The sun is still not spotty but the earth she is a hottie!

Third hottest, second hottest or first hottest June depending on how you measure it.
Solar irradiance continues to be lower than average and yet we are still heating up. Now, if the sun-spot cycle actually does start up again we will be in some kind of trouble.

It's hot, according to NASA.

The following figure from NOAA shows the temperature anomaly of June 2010 compared to the 1971-2000 base period for 5×5 degree grids

– Northern Africa
Data shows much hotter than usual in the Sahara. Seven of the 5×5 degree grids in the Sahara have zero stations, yet show 5 deg warming anomalies. Many of the others have only one station with very limited historical data.

– Greenland
Data shows it is much hotter than usual in Greenland. Most of the 5×5 degree grids in Greenland have zero stations. Most of the grids with data have only one station. The two hottest spots on the NOAA Greenland area show 5 degrees warming anomalies but have no data.

Warming in Canada correlates to the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
