Global Climate - Overview
The global land and ocean surface temperature was remarkably high in 2017. Depending on the dataset considered, the past year ranked as the second or third highest since records began in the mid-to-late 1800s at 0.38°–0.48°C above the 1981–2010 average. Notably, as ENSO conditions were neutral throughout much of 2017, it was the warmest year not influenced by El Niño in the instrumental record, as well as being warmer than any year before 2015.
