May 2014 was the hottest ever recorded

This article by the Daily Mail illustrates the changing trends of world temperatures:

Driven by exceptionally warm ocean waters, Earth smashed a record for heat in May and is likely to keep on breaking high temperature marks, experts say.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Monday said May’s average temperature on Earth of 59.93 degrees Fahrenheit (15.54 degrees Celsius) beat the old record set four years ago.

Warm ocean currents are largely behind May’s record-breaking temperatures. A warming Earth is one of the changes affirmed in the Great Waves of Change.
