To help him out, I have it warmer next year at this time than now, colder than 2016 in 2017 and temperatures in 2018 and/or 2019 at or below their lowest point in 2012.
2018-19 lows 0.3C+ above 2012's low
Bastardi said temperatures in 2018 or 2019 would drop to or below their lowest point in 2012. The coldest months of 2018 and 2019 were 0.30C and 0.39C warmer than 2012's.
In NASA's GISTEMP record (anomalies vs. 1951-1980), 2012's coldest month was +0.47C (January), while the coldest months of 2018 and 2019 were +0.77C and +0.86C; annual means rose from +0.65C in 2012 to +0.85C (2018) and +0.98C (2019) (NASA GISS).
