The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday, the June through August period was the warmest such period on Earth since record-keeping began in 1880. In addition, the month of August was the warmest such month on record since 1880 as well, and featured the warmest ocean temperatures ever recorded for any month. Both of these records, NOAA says, were driven in large part by unusually warm ocean temperatures around the world. In fact, global average ocean temperatures were so high in August — 1.17 degrees Fahrenheit above average, to be exact — that they broke the all-time record set just two months ago. http://on.mash.to/1r37yjW http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
