NOAA’s global climate report for July was released today and shows that, like NASA’s calculations released earlier this week, their values for the global temperature for July 2016 were the warmest on record for both July and for any month (not surprising since July is normally the warmest month of the year anyway). The land surface temperature alone tied with 1998 but the ocean temperatures were record warm and those values combined to give the edge to 2016 for the whole earth.
January through July was also the warmest on record for the globe. You can read the press release on it at https://www.noaa.gov/news/july-was-hottest-month-on-record-for-globe and the report at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201607.
