The latest of many heat records broken this year is putting the world on course for its hottest year ever, and is a sign of what is to come in future, according to scientists.
September 2023 was not only the hottest September on record, new data has confirmed today, but it was warmer by a margin described by stunned scientists as 'extraordinary', 'huge' and 'whopping'. It keeps the world on course for its hottest year ever, expected to be 1.4C warmer than before the industrial era. The new record is just the latest to be shattered this year, following a record hot June, July and summer overall, and record hot September in the UK.
Scientists have also been alarmed by the record low sea ice cover in Antarctica, which C3S confirmed has continued into September. It is fuelling worries that climate change is finally catching up with the continent once thought to be relatively shielded. Why was September and this summer so hot globally? Part of the heat has come from a natural switch in the tropical east Pacific around July from a cool El Nina phase to a warm El Nino one, influencing temperatures around the world.
