"2020 has a 49% chance of becoming the warmest year on record.

May 2020 was the planet’s warmest May since record keeping began in 1880, said NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and NASA June 12. NOAA rated May as tied with 2016 for warmest May on record, while NASA put May 2020 ahead of May 2016 by 0.06°C. Minor differences in rankings often occur between NOAA and NASA, the result of the different techniques they use to handle data-sparse regions such as the Arctic.

The year-to-date period of January-May ranks as the second-warmest such period on record, just 0.06°C behind the record set in 2016. According to NCEI’s annual temperature outlook, the year 2020 has more than a 99.9% chance to rank among the five warmest years on record, and a 49% chance of being the warmest year on record. If so, calendar 2020 would mean each of the past seven years would be among the seven warmest years on record.

NASA classified May 2020 as having the 17th-highest monthly temperature departure, or variance, from average for any month in the 1,684-month record, dating back to 1880: 1.02°C (1.84°F) above the 20th century average. All five months of 2020 rank in the top 20 for warmest months on record." ～Jeff Masters, Ph.D. @Yale Climate Connections
