Below are maps of the mean surface temperature anomaly for the past month, the past three months, and the past 12 months. Regional weather patterns, apparent on the monthly time scale, tend to disappear in averages over longer time scales. In the chart in the lower right we show the 2014-2019 global land-ocean temperature anomalies.

Data through December 2019 are used for computing the means.
