NOAA released their latest global climate summary this week. It shows that for May 2017, the global average temperature was the third warmest since 1880 (behind 2016 and 2015), and for March-May, it was the second warmest on record, trailing 2016. Their report, which can be accessed through https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-201705, also shows that ice cover in both the Arctic and Antarctic was less than usual overall.
