Pants on Fire

We all knew it was coming but it is still astounding that the climate "scientists" at NOAA could be so blatant in lying about global temperatures in the lead-up to the Climate conference in December. With much of Eastern Australia having the coldest July in decades according to the BOM NOAA reports it as "much above average". Andrew Bolt has the story:

There is something very odd about the NOAA claim of a very hot July, thanks to global warming:

July was the hottest month on Earth since records began...

Take the NOAA map above. Check Australia, said to have had average or above-average temperatures over much of the continent, apart from the much-warmer-than-average bits around Sydney and parts of Western Australia.

Liberal MP Craig Kelly is curious:

HOW DOES THE COLDEST MONTH IN 20 YEARS BECOME THE HOTTEST MONTH “EVER’’ ?

July in Melbourne was widely reported as the ”Coldest July in 20 years”

It also was reported at the start of August that Sydney had just “notched its longest cold spell in 26 years” and it was also “the coolest July for the city since 2002”

Even our Bureau of Meteorology reported; ”Temperatures were below average across Sydney during July”

However, have close look at the below map produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) an Obama Government agency (the same people that assert that July 2015 was the hottest month ever).

NOAA assert that temperatures in Melbourne for July 2015 were “Warmer than Average” and for Sydney they were “Much warmer than average”.

Can anyone explain this ?

Or take Adelaide, which the NOAA map claims had average temperatures.

In fact:

Bureau of Meteorology Senior Forecaster Mark Anolack said ... “July certainly was cooler than average… Generally around Adelaide we have about 15.3 degrees (Celsius) as an average maximum temperature.

“This year, it was a little bit cooler with 14.6 degrees, and that was actually our coldest July since July 1997.”

Brisbane was said by NOAA to be about average. In fact:

Brisbane‘s average monthly maximum in July was 18.1, considerably cooler than the usual 18.9.

NOAA says Perth had a well-above-average temperatures for July. In fact, our Bureau of Meteorology says it was not quite that warm:

Perth was slightly above average with an average maximum of 18.7 as against the usual 18.4

Why is the NOAA map for Australia running so very warm?

UPDATE

Reader Ian notes that NOAA’s map of temperatures for July is very different to the cool one from our own Bureau of Meterology:
