From NASA's GISS Combined Land-Surface Air and Sea-Surface Water Temperature Anomalies dataset, the average for the last 6 months was 1.283 degrees C above the 1951-1980 average; but that 1951-1980 average was 0.286 degrees above the 1880-1920 average. So the 6 months are 1.57 degrees C above the best the NASA data has for "pre-industrial".
