More Bad News For Alarmists -Events and temperatures are proceeding naturally, just as they have been predicted and forecast, via the natural cause & effect science of how the real world actually works.
=======
The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for May, 2016 is +0.55 deg. C,
---> down 0.16 deg. C from the April value of +0.71 deg. C
Cooling from the weakening El Nino is now rapidly occurring as we transition toward likely La Nina conditions by mid-summer or early fall.

UAH Global Temperature Update for May, 2016: +0.55 deg. C
June 1st, 2016
by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.
NOTE: This is the fourteenth monthly update with our new Version 6.0 dataset. Differences versus the old Version 5.6 dataset are discussed here. Note we are now at “beta5” for Version 6, and the paper describing the methodology is still in peer review.
The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for May, 2016 is +0.55 deg. C,
down 0.16 deg. C from the April value of +0.71 deg. C (click for full size version):
The global, hemispheric, and tropical LT anomalies from the 30-year (1981-2010) average for the last 17 months are:

The “official” UAH global image for May, 2016 should be available in the next several days here.
The new Version 6 files (use the ones labeled “beta5”) should be updated soon, and are located here:
