The latest global climate statistics are now available from NOAA. The new summary for April 2020 shows that the global monthly temperature was the second warmest on record, falling a tenth of a degree below April 2016, which was an El Nino year. Unlike a lot of the world, the Southeast was in a relatively cool area, with parts of Russia by far the most above normal in temperature.
