November 18th temperature anomaly - 1.98°C

According to data from climate change institute we have the highest change in temperature this year, 1.3°C above 1979-2000 average (1.98°C above pre-industrial). This is only beaten by the record holding 1.99°C above pre-industrial from Feb. 28, 2016.

Will we hit new record soon?
