November 7th hottest

After a run of hottest temperatures ever measured for each month since May, November was only the 7th hottest ever measured.  But the 12 months to November was the hottest 12 months to November ever measured and it seems very likely therefore that the year as a whole will be the hottest year ever.
Note again how 1998 (an El Nino year) is an obvious statistical outlier)
