What this can't tell you

  • This is Yaoundé, Cameroon's capital, not the whole country: one point of NASA POWER's grid (about 50 by 60 km), so a city's own heat island is not in it.
  • MERRA-2 is a reanalysis: a weather model held to observations, not a thermometer reading. Its record starts in 1981, so ranks are among about 45 years, not a century.
  • The latest months are the most likely to be revised.

How the answer is decided

Each month is ranked against the same month in every year since 1981. The top tenth of that record is 'much warmer than normal', the top third 'warmer', the middle third 'near normal'.
