Yep, it keeps getting hotter (which is no surprise given a warming trend).
It's a poorly written article, though. It fails to provide a link to the source, it says that last month (September 2019) was "slightly warmer (0.02) than September" - when it clearly means "than September 2016", and states that the temperature was 0.57C warmer than the historical average, without specifying what period that average used as the base line is. It's not any of the most commonly used baselines like 20th century average or pre-industrial, which is why it would be nice to have a link to the source to see what they used.
