Climate of 2002: February in Historical Perspective (includes winter 2001-2002)

"Based on data available at the time of this report, the global average land and ocean temperature for boreal winter (December-February) was 0.59°C (1.06°F) above the 1880-2001 mean, the second warmest winter season on record."

Confusing, isn't it?

It is confusing, since .59C does not equal 1.06F.

.59C = 33F

1.06F = -17.2C
