USA NOAA Feb 2013 – Colder Than 1896 and 1898 and 1907 and 45 Other February’s

Published on by sunshinehours11 Comment

According to the NOAA February 2013 was tied with 1944 as the 70th “warmest” February out of 119.

Which means 48 have been warmer. Not much sign of warming this February. The following list are the February’s warmer than 2013:

1896 1898 1907 1909 1915 1921 1924 1925 1926 1927 1930 1931 1932 1935 1938 1943 1945 1946 1950 1952 1953 1954 1957 1961 1962 1970 1974 1976 1977 1981 1983 1984 1986 1987 1990 1991 1992 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2002 2005 2006 2009 2012

The term “global warming” doesn’t quite fit a February colder than 1896 and 1898 and 1907 ….
