November Second Warmest on Record, NASA Finds

November 2016 was .95 degrees Celsius warmer than average, making it the second-warmest November in recorded history, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies said Thursday. Last month was .07 degrees cooler than November 2015, which was 1.02 degrees warmer than average, setting the record for warmest November ever. NASA uses data from 1951-1980 to calculate the average temperature, but the agency’s record goes as far back as 1880.
