Bold text below are my emphases.

This past October was nearly one degree Centigrade warmer than the average October temperature for the 20th century. It was just shy of a full degree — 0.98 degrees, to be precise — but it was still hotter by the largest amount in recorded history. A history that stretches back to 1880, we'll note.

The previous hottest month? September.

You can see the monthly anomalies on the graph below. For each month, the line indicates how much hotter or cooler it was than the average for that month.

The last time we had a cooler-than-average month was December 1984. In other words, in the era of the Cabbage Patch Doll. If you are 30 years old or younger, you've never lived through a month in which the global temperature was beneath the monthly 20th century average.

To repeat:

If you are under 30, every single month of your life has been hotter than the 20th century average for that month.
