[Updated] UAH, straight from the source, Dr. Roy Spencer who announced it on his blog today.
The was a lot of speculation last year that our global temperature would recover from the huge drops last spring. While there has been some recovery, the overall global temperature trend since 1999 has been the subject of much debate. What is not debatable is that the current global temperature anomaly, as determined by a leading authority on global satellite temperature measurements, says we have no departure from “normal” this month. Given the U.S. Senate is about to vote upon the most complex and costly plan to regulate greenhouse gases, while the EPA suppresses earlier versions of the chart shown below from a senior analyst, this should give some pause to those who are rational thinkers. For those that see only dogma, I expect this will be greeted with jeers. – Anthony
June 2009 Global Temperature Anomaly Update: 0.00 deg. C
Dr. Roy Spencer
July 3rd, 2009
YR MON GLOBE NH SH TROPICS
2009 1 0.304 0.443 0.165 -0.036
2009 2 0.347 0.678 0.016 0.051
2009 3 0.206 0.310 0.103 -0.149
2009 4 0.090 0.124 0.056 -0.014
2009 5 0.045 0.046 0.044 -0.166
2009 6 0.001 0.032 -0.030 -0.003
June 2009 saw another — albeit small — drop in the global average temperature anomaly, from +0.04 deg. C in May to 0.00 deg. C in June, with the coolest anomaly (-0.03 deg. C) in the Tropics. The decadal temperature trend for the period December 1978 through June 2009 remains at +0.13 deg. C per decade.
NOTE: A reminder for those who are monitoring the daily progress of global-average temperatures here:
(1) Only use channel 5 (”ch05″), which is what we use for the lower troposphere and middle troposphere temperature products.
(2) Compare the current month to the same calendar month from the previous year (which is already plotted for you).
(3) The progress of daily temperatures (the current month versus the same calendar month from one year ago) should only be used as a rough guide for how the current month is shaping up because they come from the AMSU instrument on the NOAA-15 satellite, which has a substantial diurnal drift in the local time of the orbit. Our ‘official’ results presented above, in contrast, are from AMSU on NASA’s Aqua satellite, which carries extra fuel to keep it in a stable orbit. Therefore, there is no diurnal drift adjustment needed in our official product.

The best phrase uis THERMAGEDDON
John Finn,
Are you suggesting that this summer’s low global temps are as expected by global warming theory?
Wow a whopping 0.00, It just goes to show how brilliant the political leadership of the US is. The Malarkey bill has stopped global warming dead in it’s tracks and Obama only used the Congress critters on it.
Maybe the prophet should use the magic incantations of the house to hold back the rise of unemployment, before there’s no one to tax and before the water gets too deep.
“Having one in five US workers either out of work or not getting enough work and living in homes worth 40 per cent less than they once did does not bode well for a consumer spending recovery, and may not bode well for Obama’s political longevity.
The President’s popularity remains high but ultimately his fate may depend on how deep the water is when he can no longer walk on it.”

Ray (15:19:57) : They measure it at a lot of places. If you scroll down, you’ll find the global product.
Attention WUWT Commentariat!
Who wants to do a fun and exciting graph that contrasts the doomsday graph (you know, the one that combines the cherrypicked proxies with James “Death Trains” Hansen’s GISS dataset) with the UAH graph?
Slope comparisons will earn you linkage, gratitude, and the eternal blessing of empiricists from Galileo to Newton!
Several commenters have asked about the heat associated with the 1998 El Nino – where it went and when? Bob Tisdale has several posts regarding this episode and the multi-year dissipation of the heat. Maybe someone can alert him to this current go round and either he or WUWT can find the appropriate links. I’m not even keeping up with the things I need to do, so can’t spend the hour doing what Bob or maybe Anthony can do in a moment. Or just search for the topic on WUWT or on Bob Tisdale’s site.

we must do something to stop this runaway train screaming past us on the way to carbon Armageddon at the speed of…0.
Got my vote for quote of the week.
The theory isn’t sticking, is it?
John Finn (16:54:07) :
The goalpost is a tad bit harder to move when it’s frozen in everyone’s mind.
It cannot be retrieved.
Ron de Haan: You wrote, “Can’t wait for the July data.”
The July 2009 TLT anomalies should begin to reflect the start of the El Nino that’s forming this year. So TLT anomalies should rise. Refer to my preliminary Global and NINO3.4 SST anomaly update for June. The blurb before the charts explains why they are preliminary.

The models are right. It’s just that damn data that keeps getting in the way.
OT – I see from SOHO that that high lat, SH plage region has finally erupted into a mighty, ah, speck. This is the region that Catania caught a couple of transient specks a couple days ago. Looks like NOAA’s going to finally give it a number.
And right on the curve from around Month 250-254, which peaked around Month 300 and is symmetrical for now.
==========================
It’s the turn of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, I think.
Well, duh. But the shape is truth and beauty. Who could ask for anything more?
=================================
I’ve a question for skeptic and alarmist alike. What was the need of the system for the great spike in 1998?
===================
2009 can still make a run at 2008. 2008 increased significantly in the 2nd half. Looks like 2009 is decreasing significantly, as June is the lowest anomaly of the year.
Should be a tight race, but I think 2009 will be a little warmer than 2008. But no where near a record….
Is it contrapunda Pinatubo?
==================
When looking at the graph, my non-scientific mind asks the question “what happened in 1998 to cause a spike? Extrapolating data from a something so unusual is like someone running a fever for two days and suggesting it will only go up in the future.

Congratulations
Bill…congrats (winds, AAM and lunar & solar ….)
0,001ºC or 0,001K
OT: 3 or 4 cycle 24 sunspots have formed.
The 2004-09 temp trend contradicts the AGW therry in a thrustful manner, since the period has witnessed a booooosting CO2 emission especially from China.
Sorry for typo: therry –> theory
Per Strandberg (15:58:52) :
Climatologist Prof. Richard Lindzen at MIT has now stopped being a global warming skeptic.
Just listened to an interview with him.
http://audio.wrko.com/m/audio/24111309/richard-lindzen-global-warming-denier.htm?q=lindzen
He is now a committed Global Warming DENIER!.
A good interview. He just dismisses the whole nonsense and all its followers. I expect it will be picked up on RC at some stage (unless they try to deny it happened).
Thank you for the link! This is a good interview. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Lindzen. He takes things so lightly and calm, it is refreshing to listen to him.
Yup, that’s my point! CO2 is rising like clockwork, meanwhile, temperatures are declining! Doesn’t look to me like the two are connected at all…
I should also add, this didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out either (I am not a rocket scientist, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night!)
