The largest warmer anomalies are located near Antarctica.

I broke down the globe into 9 different locations. The break down is done to show how the temperature anomalies vary within each region. Each image shows the locations with above normal (warmer colors) temperatures and below normal (cooler colors) temperatures on July 3rd.  The global average takes into account ALL of these regions below.

First North America. I labeled regions that are above normal with "AN" and below normal with "BN"
