Notice how there's no mention of the Met's connection with Phil Jones and the University of East Anglia (of the hacked emails fame) this year?
There usually is.

No. It's been here since at least August.

But yeah this El Nino year will be warmer than the La Nina year of 2008. So what? That's what's supposed to happen.
Temps are still flattening for the last 11 though. No warming.
3rd highest though? Maybe, if Phil Jones and the hockey team have anything to say about it. Had/Cru, and NASA GISS are no longer believable.
Here's another prediction. It won't be the 3rd highest year by the satellite, or radio sonde temps which are the only ones you can trust.
