That smashes the old record of 0.97°C from January 2007.
Both are relative to the baseline of 1951-1980.
Year-to-date, 2015 is 0.08°C warmer than the previous record last year. 2015 will definitely be the warmest year in the records, unless a significant asteroid or comet strikes Earth, or nuclear war breaks out -- it only needs an average anomaly of 0.35°C for November and December to break the old record.
should the "for a new record" line be adjusted now, since it seems to include October still?
