From Dr. Roy Spencer:
UAH Global Temperature Update for September, 2018: +0.14 deg. C
Globally, the coolest September in the last 10 years.
The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for September, 2018 was +0.14 deg. C, down a little from +0.19 deg. C in August:
This was the coolest September in the last 10 years in the global average.
Some regional LT departures from the 30-year (1981-2010) average for the last 21 months are:

The linear temperature trend of the global average lower tropospheric temperature anomalies from January 1979 through September 2018 remains at +0.13 C/decade.
The UAH LT global anomaly image for September, 2018 should be available in the next few days here.
The new Version 6 files should also be updated at that time, and are located here:

Winter is in the southern hemisphere. Ice extent in the Antarctic is growing.
The first major snowstorm in the Rocky Mountains is approaching.
All I see is the AMO
Bingo
Yes, as the only long cycle in a world of little statistical movement and other shorter-term cycles the AMO is the logical story by subtraction.
The level of galactic cosmic rays is the highest since 2009.
BBC weather man:
“Heaviest October snowfall in Calgary in 60 years”
Could the record, early October snow in Calgary be related to the solar minimum.
Yes, if regularly repeated over next 4 -5 years, very uncertain just for one off

depends who you ask. if you ask the climateriat it will be due to the anthropogenic component of atmospheric co2 as are all climate phenomena. you obviously didn’t get the memo 😉
No it’s “related” to this…..
An anomalously warm Arctic with the cold spilling south into Canada.
Lot of “red” on that map.
This has been a feature of recent Autumns, and indeed of winters since 2011.

WOW, Obama’s plan did work and now Trump will reverse it…. 😉
The divergence between the UAH and RSS TLT monthly temperature anomalies for September 2018 is one of the largest for any month on record. Both set to UAH’s preferred 1981-2010 anomaly base, UAH is 0.14 C against 0.35 C in RSS. The divergence between the 2 data sets, which process information from more or less the same sources, has been pronounced since 2001 and is increasing at a rate of 0.06 C per decade. At least one of these two producers is wrong. RSS is in much better agreement with the surface data since 2001.
Also, post ’98 the AMSU sensor onboard NOAA15 shows a cooling trend relative to predecessor MSU on NOAA14 and relative to radiosonde.
The RSS group partially corrected for it (split the difference). But the UAH team believed the newer one to be of “Cadillac quality” and so have presumed it correct.
They are both wrong (relative to radiosonde) but RSS a little less so.
