This makes no sense to me at all. I was doing some quick keyword research on a niche that I was thinking about going into and I noticed that the local search volume was higher than the global search volume. How is that possible? Everything is set to "Exact" and sorted by global search volume.

    I think this is a bug. Use better the older version.

    It explains it right in the headings.

    Local is based off last month's traffic; global is a 12month average (if I recall correctly).

    Why not you use other keyword tools?

    Fraggler is 100% correct. It looks like in the example above that August is peak search season for that KW, so it's reporting a higher volume than the average globa/ monthly volume. This is actually quite common for KW that are both geographically targeted and seasonal.
