Description:Neutral ENSO conditions at the beginning of 2002 gave way to a strengthening El Niño episode during boreal summer. Weather patterns in many areas of the world reflected the warm phase conditions. The average global temperature in 2002 was 0.45°C above the 1961–1990 mean, which places 2002 as the second warmest year on record. Land temperatures were 0.78°C above average and ocean temperatures were 0.31°C above the 1961–1990 mean. This ranks both land and ocean as the second warmest on record.
