Many people have already entered guesses for July’s UAH anomaly. I guessed 0.435C based on Channel 5 anomalies. Bill Buckner<\/a> suggested that NOAA maps suggest lower surface temperatures than Channel 5. ( Channel 5 is not<\/i> a perfect indicator of UAH temps. I can provide statistics on that later. ) <\/p>\n

Here’s the 30 day image from NOAA :
\n\"Figure<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know B… I see a lot of white which is near a zero anomaly; I see very few negative anomalies. The weather in Antarctica looks pretty warm.Of course, that’s probably not an equal area projection, but still. Plus, surface temperatures and troposphere temperatures don’t always match. <\/p>\n

I’m still betting on 0.435C based Channel 5. (I’m also mystified why Chicago isn’t blue on that map. It’s seemed consistently cool for July. Tom Skilling’s blog indicates it’s the coolest Chicago July in 118 years.<\/a> )<\/p>\n

If you want to watch how the temperature evolved, here is an animation of NOAA temperatures for the most recent 30 days.

\n(I suspect this will update, so if you read this month’s after publication, it may show whatever the most recent 30 day temperatures are on the date you read it. I’m not sure. But the maps have time stamps, so you’ll be able to tell.)<\/p>\n
