The map above shows the range of global temperatures at different latitudes in 11 year windows starting in 1948-1958 ending in 2008-2018.
Anything to the left of the black line is cooler than the 1961-1990 average at that latitude and anything to the right is warmer.
The data source is the UK Met Office’s HADCRUT4 data set.

Interesting to note the biggest by far warming occurs in the latitudes where the political bias to promote it is strongest.
