Land Surface Temperature Anomaly (Global): June, 2024
Summary
The monthly LST analysis was based on the LST of June, 2024. A multi-year global monthly LST climatology was generated as a reference. Monthly daytime LST, monthly daytime LST climatology, monthly LST anomaly, monthly LST variability, and monthly LST variability climatology were shown. The LST of this month is summarized as follows:
- As in the past year, warm anomalies remain the main theme throughout the globe. They spread out across the whole world with little exception, including Central Canada, the southern tip of South America, and northeastern Russia.
- Compared to the previous month, the large hot anomalies occupying a majority of Asia separated. Northern India still experiences a significant impact from these anomalies. The large cold anomaly retreated northward and significantly reduced its spatial coverage. A few smaller pockets of warmth in Europe and Africa merged together.
- The majority of Mexico and Northern India still experience significant impact from long-lasting heat wave. The Middle East experienced deadly humid heat wave.
- Africa's temperature anomalies have decreased, while regions near the Arabian Peninsula exhibit stronger heat. South America reversed its cooling trend, with warm anomalies replacing cold ones in the south. Australia's temperatures settled into a near-neutral state in June, following contrasting cold and warm patterns in April and May.
