Specific notes:
Top panel: Northern Hemisphere 1880-2018, annual (Jan-Dec), reference period 1901-2000 (average temp determines boundary between blue and red stripes), Land and Ocean.
Bottom panel: Southern Hemisphere 1880-2018, annual (Jan-Dec), reference period 1901-2000 (average temp determines boundary between blue and red stripes), Land and Ocean.
Important: Graphics present temperature anomaly away from respective average values over the reference period 1901-2000. They show temperature change. Accordingly, a hue in one diagram does not necessarily represent the same absolute temperature as the same hue in the other diagram
Panels are vertically aligned to enable year-by-year comparison
In the Northern Hemisphere, one recent year's value exceeded the color scale. Southern hemisphere's values remained within range of color scale.
