El Nino + urban heat island effect. According to satellites, July 2016 is the 2nd hottest July since the 70's when satellite records began. The hottest is July 1998, also El Nino.
Take a look at weather stations that have been situated in the same place for 100 or more years, far from cities:

- MrZongle2 10y agoI'm surprised you haven't been called a "denier" yet. Edit: my comment was originally made tongue-in-cheek, but it's clear that some acolytes are highly offended. I'll take it as vindication.
- cromulent 10y agoThe scientists been taking the heat island effect into account the whole time. See box 2.1 here, it explains it quite well: http://www.grida.no/publications/other/ipcc_tar/?src=/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/052.htm#2221 http://www.grida.no/publications/other/ipcc_tar/?src=/climat... In relation to the El Nino, sure, it is a factor in the heat every 5-7 years or so, including last year, but it doesn't explain the trend.
