Several regions around the world experienced record warmth in May, including parts of Siberia, Australia, northern and eastern Europe, northern Africa, northeastern China, the Philippines and northern South America, the center reported.
Overall, May marked the 339th consecutive month with a global temperature above the 20th-century average, the climate center said. The most recent cooler-than-average month of May was in 1976.
In the USA, May was slightly warmer than average, with a national temperature just nine-tenths of a degree above average, according to the climate center's report.
For meteorological spring -- the months of March, April and May -- the globe had its eighth-warmest spring on record. The USA had an unusually chilly spring, with many central and southeastern U.S. states seeing one of their 10 coolest springs on record.
