October, 4th Warmest On Record - NOAA, page-2

Bellcurve,
NOAA certainly not satellite figures just heat island affected local measurements  adjusted accordingly and guessed  by NOAA for the large areas of the globe where they have no measuring sites.

Mind you even if they are roughly correct a global temperature average of 14.89 or 15-16  deg C (allowing for the guess work of their adjustments ) is one where we should be yelling . "Bring on some heat".
Glad to see they acknowledge La Nina as the main driver of temperatures
in the southern hemispheres

No warming for over 6 years.
