Hi Alannie, the CRU dataset has the monthly data you require at 0.5 degree resolution with temporal coverage from 1901 - 2014 globally, however this will require you to average the monthly temperature yourself which can be done using the GDAL package in either R or Python, or manually in ArcGIS if you have the time.
