If you live in the central United States it may not have felt this way, but for the Earth overall, last month likely was the warmest May on record.
The average global temperature for May was 1.38 degrees Fahrenheit above the long-term average, according to NASA. Of course, none of us experiences the global average, ever. What we feel is particular to where we’re at.
So if you happen to have spent most of May in Texas, you would have experienced a cooler than average May. But have a look at the map above. It charts how temperatures during the month departed from normal. So, to offer one example, if you happen to have spent most of May in Alaska, well, the map should give a good sense of what you experienced…
In the meantime, consider that yesterday, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced that March, April and May comprised he warmest spring in a record that stretches back to 1891.
