NASA GISS surface temperature anomalies (degrees C from the 1951-1980 baseline): global, hemispheric and zonal series, monthly and annual, with the latest reading ranked against history.

Tools

• get_temperature_anomaly(region?, frequency?, start_year?, end_year?) - monthly or annual anomaly series for global land+ocean, global land only, or either hemisphere.
• get_latest_anomaly(region?) - the most recent month, its rank among the same month since 1880, and a 12-month trailing mean.
• get_zonal_anomalies(start_year?, end_year?) - annual anomalies by latitude band.

Data sources

• NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, GISTEMP surface temperature analysis (v4). US federal government work, public domain; no reuse grant is needed to store or serve it.

Stored copy

NASA GISS refuses requests leaving some of our network egress, so calls are answered from a copy kept in the shared object store (five small tables plus a manifest, none in git and none in the gateway bundle). Every response carries served_from (stored-copy, live, or stale-stored-copy), data_as_of (latest observation month) and copy_refreshed_at. A copy older than 45 days sends the call to NASA first and falls back to the old copy, labelled, if NASA still refuses.

Refresh: node mcps/gistemp/scripts/refresh-gistemp.mjs from a US machine (it checks its own country and refuses otherwise). NASA publishes about monthly. The manifest is written last and only when every table was read, so copy_refreshed_at never claims a check that did not happen.
