The September 2014 result is in and the average temperature from 2438 NOAA Weather Stations around the Globe was 18.663C - in amongst it's peers



The average temperature October 2013 through to the end of September 2014 was 12.261C

Down 9/1000ths of a degree compared with the year to the end of August 2014



Here's another forum friendly sized graph that updates hourly



The graphs above are (at this moment in time) the result of 81,982,700 individual temperature measurements taken around the Globe from (the same set of) NOAA Weather Stations since the beginning of 2011

Currently only 3 of the 8 UK EDF Reactors are fully operational

see http://www.edfenergy.com/energy/power-station/daily-statuses

and Wylfa's last operational reactor has boiler leak problems .. but that won't stop them even if the boilers are within the pressure vessel and have been running since 1971

I had a read through Wylfa's stress test in light of Fukushima and the loss of local power risk scenarios assume that a reactor tripping with local supply failure as very low ...because there's a second reactor onsite.
