40th Daily Record for Antarctic – 1.67 million above the 1981-2010 mean. – Above 3 standard deviations.
Using Environment Canada’s monthly summaries.
And selecting stations with ‘Normals’ (anomalies from 1981 – 2010) and 90% of the datapoints.
If you take Environment Canada’s monthly summaries from 1998 to April 2015.
Use only the station with pre-calculated Normals (anomalies from 1981-2010 avg).
Average them on a 1×1 grid and then graph the data:
