What does this dataset do?

This workbook holds NASA's GISTEMP version 4 global temperature anomalies for 1880 to 2025, in degrees Celsius relative to the 1951-1980 average. The Land-Ocean tables give monthly, annual and seasonal means for the globe, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and annual means for latitude bands. Every published value is kept as the source gives it; missing values stay blank.

The Stripes tab is a set of warming stripes: one narrow column per year, colored from the annual mean. The colors are fixed when the file is built. A Dashboard tab puts the headline figures, the last 50 years, decade averages and the ten warmest years on one page, with bars built from formulas. The Decades tab averages each decade with AVERAGE and shows the change from the decade before.

January to August 2026 is included where NASA has published it. Annual means are used only for complete years, so the last complete year is 2025. Read the About tab for the baseline, the color scales, the citation and the license.

What formulas does this dataset use?

This dataset holds 1,132 formulas in 7,168 cells across 7 tabs, so 16% of its cells calculate. They use 12 distinct functions; the longest formula is 167 characters and 402 of them read from another tab.

Function	Uses	What it does
`MAX`	937	largest value
`ISNUMBER`	760	true for a number
`IF`	754	one result when a test is true, another when false
`AND`	468	true when every test is true
`ROUND`	465	rounds to a number of digits
`REPT`	462	repeats text
`MIN`	455	smallest value
`INDEX`	36	value at a position in a range
`MATCH`	36	position of a value in a range
`LARGE`	20	nth largest value
`AVERAGE`	17	mean of numbers
`COUNT`	15	counts numeric cells

Counted from the workbook itself. Only functions that Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers evaluate the same way are used, so the formulas survive every download format.

How do you use it?

Open the Dashboard for the headline figures and the last 50 years of annual anomalies.
Use the Global monthly tab to filter a month or season by year, using the header filters.
Read the Decades tab to compare each decade with the one before it.
Copy a year's anomaly from the Hemispheres or Zones tab; each value is the published figure.
Cite the source as given on the About tab when you publish a chart or table.

What do the columns and units mean?

Column	Unit	Meaning
Year	year	Calendar year.
Jan to Dec	°C	Monthly global anomaly relative to 1951-1980 (Land-Ocean index).
J-D	°C	January to December mean anomaly; blank for incomplete years.
D-N	°C	December of the previous year to November mean anomaly.
DJF, MAM, JJA, SON	°C	Seasonal mean anomalies as published by GISTEMP.
Global J-D, NH J-D, SH J-D	°C	Annual mean anomaly for the globe, the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

Questions about this sheet

What does an anomaly of 1.00 mean?

It means the year's mean was 1.00 degree Celsius warmer than the 1951-1980 average. The figure is a departure from that baseline, not an absolute temperature.

Why does the last year have blank cells?

NASA publishes months as they become available. The file includes January to August 2026, and leaves later months and the annual mean blank.

Are the colors in the stripes calculated by formula?

No. The colors are static fills set when the workbook was built from the published annual means. The numbers under the stripes are formulas that read the Global monthly tab.

Can I use this data in a report?

Yes. NASA data are public domain in the United States and NASA asks for the citation given on the About tab.
