NOAA says El Niño has begun in the tropical Pacific, with a 63% chance it becomes one of the strongest events recorded since 1950. Scientists warn it could intensify global heat and disrupt weather, food supplies and economies into 2027.
A new report from the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service shows that the global average temperature from January to October of this year is the highest ever recorded, dangerously close to the 1.5 degree Celsius warming threshold. October was 0.4 degrees Celsius (0.7 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the previous record for the month in 2019, and it is virtually certain that 2023 will be the hottest year on record. This could bring about significant challenges for people worldwide, so it is important that governments and citizens take action to reduce emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Earth has just experienced its hottest Northern Hemisphere summer on record, with August being the hottest month ever recorded by modern equipment. The average temperature in August was 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than pre-industrial averages, leading to extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, and wildfires. The WMO and C3S have urged governments to take action to reduce emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change, and U.S. President Joe Biden has promised federal aid for Idalia recovery.
In July 2023, the Copernicus Climate Change Service announced that the global average temperature was 16.95 degrees Celsius (62.51 degrees Fahrenheit), a third of a degree Celsius higher than the previous record set in 2019. This record-breaking heat has had devastating consequences for both people and the planet, prompting the organization to call for urgent action to reduce emissions and build resilience to climate change.
