Compared to the last two thousand years before the twentieth century, there was a relatively warm period known as the Medieval Warm Period, which lasted from about 950 to 1250 CE. Northern hemisphere temperatures were probably between 0.1°C and 0.2°C below the 1961 to 1990 mean and significantly below the level shown by instrumental data after 1980, and recent studies suggest that the warming effect might not have extended to the Southern Hemisphere, which is now thought by some scientists to have been somewhat cooler than the northern hemisphere. The remainder of the Middle Ages was somewhat cooler.
