get_temperature_anomaly

NASA GISTEMP surface temperature anomaly time series (degrees C from 1951-1980 baseline). Pick a region (global_land_ocean, global_land_only, northern_hemisphere, southern_hemisphere) and get monthly + annual + seasonal values back. Use for climate bets ("will 2026 be the hottest year on record"),…

get_latest_anomaly

Most recent NASA GISTEMP global land+ocean monthly anomaly, plus how it ranks against history. Returns the latest available month, the anomaly value (degrees C from 1951-1980 baseline), the rank of that value among all same-month observations since 1880, and a 12-month trailing mean. Cheaper than g…

get_zonal_anomalies

NASA GISTEMP annual zonal anomalies (degrees C from 1951-1980 baseline) for 8 latitude bands: global, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, 24N-90N, 24S-24N (tropics), 90S-24S, 64N-90N (Arctic), 44S-24S, etc. Use for regional climate bets ("will the Arctic warm faster than the tropics in 2026")…
