CRUTEM4 is the dataset put out by the Climate Research Unit as East Anglia.

Did you ever notice that the data for the Southern Hemisphere in the 1850s was really, really hot?

Here is a barplot of 1851 to 1856 and 2006 to 2013 mashed together so you can compare (click to make bigger):

Here is a table of the same data. Only one post-2005 monthly anomaly would make the top 20:
