UAH Global Temperature Update for July, 2023: +0.64 deg. C August 2nd, 2023 New Record High Temperatures and a Weird Month
July 2023 was an unusual month, with sudden warmth and a few record or near-record high temperatures.
Since the satellite record began in 1979, July 2023 was:
warmest July on record (global average) warmest absolute temperature (since July is climatologically the warmest month) tied with March 2016 for the 2nd warmest monthly anomaly (departure from normal for any month) warmest Southern Hemisphere land anomaly warmest July for tropical land (by a wide margin, +1.03 deg. C vs. +0.44 deg. C in 2017) These results suggest something peculiar is going on. It’s too early for the developing El Nino in the Pacific to have much effect on the tropospheric temperature record. The Hunga Tonga sub-surface ocean volcano eruption and its “unprecedented” production of extra stratospheric water vapor could be to blame. There might be other record high temperatures regionally in the satellite data, but I don’t have time right now to investigate that.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…
The Version 6 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for July 2023 was +0.64 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean. This is well above the June 2023 anomaly of +0.38 deg. C.

0.64 degrees!!! But feels like one hundred eleventy billion degrees
That’s because we’re not burning enough coal. We didn’t have this before Obama’s war on coal started.
“The Hunga Tonga sub-surface ocean volcano eruption and its “unprecedented” production of extra stratospheric water vapor could be to blame.”
The masses, and particularly the climate change cultists, don’t want to know, and don’t care.
Noted. So what? The site seems fixated on the anthropomorphic effect on climate change. Yeah right buddy…
This!
July 2023 was: warmest July on record (global average) warmest absolute temperature (since July is climatologically the warmest month) tied with March 2016
They only grab the high temps and never add in the low temps ,LOL
We are doomed.
YO “Dr” Spencer. Let me know when you host a couple of polar bears in your ice filled backyard pool & I might give you some credence. (Not likely)
Since the satellite record began in 1979
Pure BS propaganda...
He is generally known as a climate change denier, he just reports the facts and the facts are not in accord with the climate warming models, that’s why he’s hated by leftists and climate alarmists. This is a good source for inserting the Tonga eruption into the climate conversation, and I expect to get follow up here that I won’t get elsewhere.
no the site isn’t fixed on that. It is fixed on factual refutation of climate warming models.
You all might find this site a valuable climate resource, since you are unfamiliar with it. Here is a synopsis of his book “an inconvenient Deception” which offers a critique of Al Gore:
“Updated 2nd Edition: Al Gore’s new movie An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is reviewed for its accuracy in climate science and energy policy. As was the case with Gore’s first movie (An Inconvenient Truth), the movie is bursting with bad science, bad policy and some outright falsehoods. The storm events Gore addresses occur naturally, and there is little or no evidence they are being made worse from human activities: sea level is rising at the same rate it was before humans started burning fossil fuels; in Miami Beach the natural rise is magnified because buildings and streets were constructed on reclaimed swampland that has been sinking; the 9/11 memorial was not flooded by sea level rise from melting ice sheets, but a storm surge at high tide, which would have happened anyway and was not predicted by Gore in his first movie, as he claims; the Greenland ice sheet undergoes melt every summer, which was large in 2012 but then unusually weak in 2017; glaciers advance and retreat naturally, as evidenced by 1,000 to 2,000 year old tree stumps being uncovered in Alaska; rain gauge measurements reveal the conflict in Syria was not caused by reduced rainfall hurting farming there, and in fact the Middle East is greening from increasing CO2 in the atmosphere; agricultural yields in China have been rising, not falling as claimed by Gore. The renewable energy sources touted by Gore (wind and solar), while a laudable goal for our future, are currently very expensive: their federal subsidies per kilowatt-hour of energy produced are huge compared to coal, natural gas, and nuclear power. These costs are hidden from the public in increased federal and state tax rates. Gore is correct that “it is right to save humanity”, but what we might need saving from the most are bad decisions that reduce prosperity and hurt the poor.

This is the guy that Rush would defer to when discussing climate
UAH = University of Alabama Huntsville.
I think it is without a doubt. Those of us living in humidity prone states, know that moisture in the air means warmer air temperatures.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
Ok, I didn’t read enough of his, “Yes Virginia” article to see that he was being facetious.
