RSS: This May Much Warmer than Last

RSS is the first out of the blocks this month with their monthly temperature anomaly: +0.090°C.

This is significantly higher than May 2008's value of -0.078°C, and an indication that 2009 is probably going to be significantly warmer than 2008 (though cooler than 2007).

Worth noting in this context: the Climate Prediction Center just issued its first forecast of a looming El Nino, after a rapid Pacific warming in the last few weeks:
