Yes and they will add todays and the last few days of September, which is trending positive now that the pattern has shifedt westward.

NOAA's National Weather Service - National Climate Press on this for any main nws in the US and it will take you to the climate page.

Here is for PDX-> National Weather Service - NWS Portland
Go down to the box with cities and on the left side there is a thing you check that says "Preliminary Monthly Climate Data (CF6)" press on that and chose a city and then a box opens up. Then go down to temperature and find avg for the month.

Todays data for Portland

TEMPERATURE (F)
TODAY
MAXIMUM 77 206 PM, Avg high 71
MINIMUM 63 413 AM, Avg low 50
AVERAGE 70 , Avg means 60

So overall today had 10 degree's above normal...That then make this month from perfectly normal to slightly above normal. Portland will likely get a small red circle on the climate map in a few weeks.

 

[edthecynic]

I think it is funny that edthecynic is all hot and bothered by two of the few climate scientists that are able to admit to previous mistakes and correct their thinking to incorporate new and conflicting data.

Actually, they claimed their adjustments to the raw satellite data were the most accurate on Earth when their data contradicted all the other data. Other scientists had to correct their errors for them. Only after their errors were proven by others did they grudgingly admit their data was not accurate and only because they could no longer deny it.

Now that they can no longer fudge the satellite data, suddenly they claim that all satellite data is no good any more.

Please link an article or study that support your version of the satellite debate over adjustments and correlation to land based temperatures. So I can destroy it.
