October 2012 in the world took fifth place among the warmest October for the entire more than 130-year history of meteorological observations, said the National Oceanic and Marine Administration US Atmospheric Research (NOAA). “Average temperature the surface of the earth and ocean last October was 14.63 degrees Celsius, which is 0.63 degrees higher than the average temperature for this month for the 20th century, “the report said. As noted NOAA specialists, since 1976, temperatures in October are always turned out to be above the “medieval” norm. The hottest October in 2003, when the average temperature of the earth’s surface amounted to 14.67 degrees Celsius. However, according to meteorological observations, over the past 20 years not a single month has been colder than its average norm for the 20th century. In October, significantly turned out to be warmer than usual in North and South America, northern Africa, southeastern Europe and the Russian Far East. Below medieval temperature norms dropped in Mongolia, northern China, Central North America, and North Siberia. However, in the past month, many regions of the planet turned out to be “abnormal” in terms of precipitation. For example, in Finland in October a double monthly rate fell precipitation. At the same time, only 48% of the monthly norm fell out in Australia, and for the continent, October 2012 was the fifth among the driest the entire history of meteorological observations.
