> Around the globe: the combined land and ocean-surface temperature was 1.67 degrees F (0.93 of a degree C) above the 20th-century average of 60.4 degrees F (15.8 degrees C), making it the hottest July since records began 142 years ago.
If you are curious about where humans were measuring temperatures between 1880 and now, I put together an animation[1] of temperature station locations in GHCNv3 some time ago. With GHCNv4 out, it is due for an update, but still informative.
