The Last Two Novembers are the Warmest Novembers on Record

November 2016 was the second warmest November in 136 years of modern record-keeping, according to a monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.
November 2016's temperature was 0.07 degrees Celsius cooler than the warmest November in 2015. Last month was 0.95 degrees Celsius warmer than the mean November temperature from 1951-1980.
The top two November temperature anomalies have been the past two years. 2015 was the hottest on record, at 1.02 degrees Celsius warmer than the November mean temperature, followed by 2016.
The monthly analysis by the GISS team is assembled from publicly available data acquired by about 6,300 meteorological stations around the world, ship- and buoy-based instruments measuring sea surface temperature, and Antarctic research stations.
The modern global temperature record begins around 1880 because previous observations didn't cover enough of the planet. Monthly analyses are sometimes updated when additional data becomes available, and the results are subject to change.
