(Reuters) - Last month was the warmest May on record, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Tuesday.
It was also the 303rd consecutive month that was hotter than the 20th century global average for that month, according to Deke Arndt, chief of the climate monitoring at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.
"Since February 1985, every single month has been warmer than its 20th century average," Arndt said by telephone from Asheville, North Carolina.

We had to turn on our furnace on Friday and Saturday nights. That’s unheard of mid-June.
Obviously no one was looking at temperatures from the Midwest where it has been decidedly cooler than normal and apparently no one saw the snowstorm in the Black Hills the third week in May.
They didn’t look at S. Cal either - we had snow, ice and hail.
Ha. This one ranks right up there with Nepolitano’s statement that the “borders are secure”.
Not in Kansas City. I thought May was cooler than usual.
Despite no global warming in 10 years and recording setting cold in 2007-2008, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC) and computer modelers who believe that CO2 is the cause of global warming still predict the Earth is in store for catastrophic warming in this century.

Global temperatures increased for twenty years from the late 1970s to the late 1990s but have actually been cooling the last eleven years. The global warming and subsequent cooling were even predictable due to hundreds of years of historical trends and observation of the impact of variations in solar activity on global temperature.
Did you know that the Roman Period and Medieval Period were both several degrees warmer than today’s temperature. The world then cooled at least four degrees from 1450 to 1850. This period was called the Little Ice Age (a period of glacial advance, the same glaciers that are in retreat today). These temperature variations were not caused by man.

The reports circulating from the U.N.’s climate summit in Copenhagen also don’t mention scientific climate data that suggest the globe has cooled in the last 10 years.
Data from the U.S. National Climate Data Center indicate temperatures in the U.S. have cooled over the last decade at a rate that projects to a decline of 7.3 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century

Deke Arndt is one of these types who understands the importance of lighting matches and holding them close to thermometers.
BS. It was damned cold here.
Yes it is the middle of June here in the Seattle area and it feels more like March. Ask farmers whether it was the warmest May ever. Crops around here are way behind because it has been cold. How long do these partisan hack “scientists” think they can distort the record by cherry picking weather reporting stations? They only have one weather station left in the far North of Canada that supposedly gives the average for locations thousands of miles away.

LOL!
Sure it was.
Tucson had a fairly cool May.
