Only the summers of 1998 and 2010 were warmer. Records go back to 1880
While the USA sweated through one of its warmest summers on record, so, too, did the rest of the globe, federal scientists from the National Climatic Data Center announced Monday.
The average summer temperature over global land and ocean surfaces tied with 2005 as the third-highest on record at 61.25 degrees F, or 1.15 degree F above the 20th century average of 60.1 degrees F.

An ice-free Victoria Strait, shown on Aug. 27, eliminated any
ice-related concerns that could have affected this year's search for Sir
John Franklin's lost ships.
The ice covering the search area for the two lost ships of Sir John Franklin's doomed Arctic expedition suddenly disappeared more than three weeks ago, eliminating any ice-related issues that might have hampered technologies deployed in the search.
