Don’t trust the “of the century” headlines. The news loves to get people hyped. Mom used to always say, “The news says it’s the hottest/coldest day of the year!” Of course it is, we’re advancing into summer/winter.
We had spotty planetary telecom 100-years ago and none 200-years ago. All we can say with certainty is that global temps are rising. Everything after that is an educated guess.
For example, my town broke the all-time record for snow last year, in Florida. “Snow of the century”? Probably? Global warming? Probably? (I’m putting that last down to global warming as I doubt the polar vortex was taking a beating like that in the past, but no one can be 100%.)
Drought of the century they say. A week after the storm of the century in Jamaica. There’s a lot of the century these days.
It seems centuries are getting shorter and shorter each year.
What a century, huh?
Captain, we are just about to pass the first quarter
This year’s drought of the century.

When you look globally you can expect a once a century thing about monthly. That’s just the law of large numbers.
If the line is trending higher all the time, that’s going to happen often.
