> October was a hot month. Just how hot? According to data released Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
> Administration (NOAA), last month was the second hottest October ever recorded since 1880 when data collection began.
>
> So far, 2018 has been the fourth hottest year on record.
>
> According to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, October 2018 marks the 42nd 
> consecutive October, and the “406th consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th century 
> average.”
>
> In fact, no record cold temperatures were seen anywhere in the world last month, according to NOAA. Instead, record 
> warm temperatures were seen everywhere from the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to Alaska, Russia, Australia, and central 
> Africa.
>
> The global average temperature experienced in October was 1.55°F above the 20th-century average (57.1°F). Last month 
> was only surpassed by 2015 when October reached 1.78°F above average.
>
> Around the world, countries experienced “significant climate anomalies and events” last month. This includes the late 
> season’s Hurricane Michael, which was the fourth most intense hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. based on wind 
> speeds.
>
> Bahrain had its wettest October on record since 1902: Precipitation recorded by its international airport reached 
> 19.9 mm, 40 times more than its monthly average. And towards the end of October, Typhoon Yutu became the strongest 
> storm to ever hit the Mariana Islands.
>
> At the poles, the Arctic saw its third smallest amount of sea ice for the month since records began in 1979. In the 
> Antarctic, sea ice extent was at its fourth smallest October level.
>
> Yet, as deadly wildfires continue to rage in California — very late into the season and fuel by hot, dry conditions 
> made worse by climate change — the U.S. government continues to evade the issue.
