September 2023 shatters #climate records - warmest September on record by far - "Global #temperatures soared to a new record in #September by a huge margin, stunning scientists and leading one to describe it as “absolutely gobsmackingly bananas”.

The #hottest September on record follows the hottest #August and hottest #July, with the latter being the hottest month ever recorded. The high temperatures have driven #heatwaves and #wildfires across the world.

September 2023 beat the previous record for that month by 0.5C, the largest jump in temperature ever seen. September was about 1.8C warmer than pre-industrial levels. Datasets from #European and #Japanese scientists confirm the leap."

"Record shattering: #Earth had its #hottest #July in 174 years -
Global sea surface temperature hit record high for 4th-consecutive month

Earth just roasted under its hottest July on record, according to scientists from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). For the fourth-consecutive month, the global ocean surface temperature also hit a record high.

#Climate by the numbers - July 2023 - The average global surface temperature in July was 2.02 degrees F (1.12 degrees C) above average, ranking it as the warmest July in NOAA’s 174-year record. Because July is the globe’s warmest month of the year from a climatological perspective, July 2023 was also likely Earth’s warmest month on record.

July 2023 was the first time an average July temperature exceeded 1.8 degrees F (1.0 degree C) above the long-term average. Also of note, last month was 0.36 of a degree F (0.20 of a degree C) warmer than the previous July record from 2021. July 2023 marked the 47th-consecutive July and the 533rd-consecutive month with temperatures above the 20th-century average.

For the fourth-consecutive month, the global ocean surface temperature hit a record high as El Niño conditions that emerged in June continued into July. Globally, July 2023 set a record for the highest monthly sea surface temperature anomaly — which indicates how much warmer or cooler temperatures are from the long-term average — of any month in NOAA’s climate record, with an anomaly of 1.78 degrees F or 0.99 of a degree C. On July 13, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center issued a statement announcing a greater than 95% chance that El Nino will continue through winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

BBC News - World records #hottest day for third time in a week
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66120297

I read this #WaPo article about HOW HOT July 4 was. 100% #Hottest Day in the last 150 years. (!!!!!)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/07/05/hottest-day-ever-recorded/

But WAS this the hottest day in 125,000 years? Climate Scientists are a contentious bunch & I actually did that simulation at #NASA GISS so hold my beverage while I check.

Its tough comparing the heat (cold/rain/etc.) of a single day against a time period where you don't have that kind of time resolution let alone spatial coverage #paleoclimate observations
