That data only shows to to 2019 though?
May 2020 was the planet’s warmest May since record keeping began in 1880, said NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and NASA June 12. NOAA rated May as tied with 2016 for warmest May on record, while NASA put May 2020 ahead of May 2016 by 0.06°C. Minor differences in rankings often occur between NOAA and NASA, the result of the different techniques they use to handle data-sparse regions such as the Arctic.
The year-to-date period of January-May ranks as the second-warmest such period on record, just 0.06°C behind the record set in 2016. According to NCEI’s annual temperature outlook, the year 2020 has more than a 99.9% chance to rank among the five warmest years on record, and a 49% chance of being the warmest year on record. If so, calendar 2020 would mean each of the past seven years would be among the seven warmest years on record.
NASA classified May 2020 as having the 17th-highest monthly temperature departure, or variance, from average for any month in the 1,684-month record, dating back to 1880: 1.02°C (1.84°F) above the 20th century average. All five months of 2020 rank in the top 20 for warmest months on record.

Global temperature records are more likely to be set during the peak of the solar cycle and during strong El Niño events, given the extra heat from the tropical Pacific Ocean up to the atmosphere. The remarkable warmth of 2020 has come in the absence of an El Niño event and during the minimum of one of the weakest 11-year solar cycles in the past century, underscoring the dominant role human-caused global warming has in heating our planet.
Global ocean temperatures during May 2020 were the second warmest on record, and global land temperatures were the warmest on record. Global satellite-measured temperatures in May 2020 for the lowest 8 kilometers of the atmosphere were the 2nd warmest or warmest in the 42-year record, according to the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) and Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), respectively.
I like mangoes but hadnt realised how many different varieties there are.Don't know what has caused it, but our Mango trees are flowering, they normally start to flower in September.
This explains why our mangoes trees have flowered 3 months early.Don't know what has caused it, but our Mango trees are flowering, they normally start to flower in September.

WA records hottest start to winter on record as late rain fails to fill gauges
WA records its warmest start to winter on record while Perth records its equal-hottest June — two degrees above average — with below-average rainfall to boot.www.abc.net.au
Yes, fingers crossed.Western Australia has had its hottest start to winter on record with Perth enduring its equal-hottest June ever ... with below-average rainfall.
Overall it was hotter than a typical September in Perth, with the mean maximum temperature coming in at 21.4 degrees Celsius — well above the June average of 19.5C.
So good for Mango growing and reducing coronavirus spread!

I must admit i have always believed that humans are influencing the climate, but those stats show i was wrong. I should have listened to Andrew Bolt all along.Video posted to Twitter on Tuesday shows it snowing out the window of the Aurora apartment building at Melbourne Central with the flakes large enough to settle on the glass.
The Bureau of Meteorology has said Tuesday’s snowfall, which fell as low as 150 metres at some points around the state, was a one in 10 year occurrence.
Weather bureau senior forecaster Tom Fejes said Melbourne was in for a pretty cold run of temperatures with the cold front “not really budging from over Victoria” for the next few days.
“We are looking at potentially the coldest run of four days in a row in the Melbourne region since 1975 for August,” he said.

Those HUN figures are extremely dodgy.
They're from the BoM site.
Apologies, I morphed from a HS article on snow and cold weather into a comment on Melbourne's weather this year which might've thrown you.
BoM ran the new site in tandem with the old one for over a year and their main observation was that the new site was cooler in the face of southerlies and sea breezes.
I don't wish to re-enter a debate on historical temperatures in general given that they have been artificially altered (i.e. lowered) in line with current wisdom, and we were unable to reach agreement as to the validity of this practice in previous discussion. My comment was restricted to Melbourne's prolonged 2020 cold and the ignorance of it by those who profess to be concerned about climate change, and had no connection to Bolt.
