From NOAA:
"October 2007 ranked as the sixth warmest October since records began in 1880 for combined global land and ocean surface temperatures. The October land surface temperature ranked third warmest on record, while the ocean surface temperature ranked ninth warmest in the 127-year record. The global surface temperature for the combined January-October year-to-date period tied with 2002 as the third warmest January-October on record, while the global land surface temperature ranked warmest on record for January-October 2007."
Here are some pretty pictures too.
