Record high temperature places are northwest Africa, coastal areas in southeastern South America, southwest Australia, regions in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

At sea, unusually high surface water temperatures are recorded in most of the great oceans, particularly in the northeast and the equatorial Pacific.

NOAA climate scientist Jessica Blunden said with current weather developments, it is likely that this year 2014 will be the hottest year ever recorded.
