Record-Breaking Heat: Earth's Hottest November and Decade, with 2023 Set to Be Hottest Year

November 2023 was the warmest November on record, with the globally averaged temperature over 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit above average. This marks the sixth consecutive month of setting a global heat record for that month. The warmth was widespread, affecting parts of Africa, central Asia, the Middle East, and northern South America. The planet's oceans were also record-warm for any November dating back to 1900. With four of the other five months in 2023 ranking among the warmest, it is highly likely that 2023 will be the hottest year on record.

Record-Breaking Heatwave: Earth's Hottest Day Ever Recorded

Tuesday, July 4, 2022, was the hottest day on Earth since records began in 1979, with the global average temperature reaching 62.92 degrees Fahrenheit (17.18 degrees Celsius). Scientists believe it may have been the hottest day in around 125,000 years due to a combination of climate change, the return of the El Niño pattern, and the start of summer in the northern hemisphere. The United States, China, Antarctica, and North Africa experienced extreme heat, with 57 million people in the U.S. exposed to dangerous temperatures. Unless action is taken to combat carbon emissions, temperatures are expected to continue rising, leading to more frequent temperature records being broken.

Record-Breaking Heatwave Shatters Global Temperature Records

The world's average temperature reached a new high on July 3, surpassing 17 degrees Celsius for the first time since records began. This record-breaking temperature is attributed to a combination of the natural weather event El Niño and ongoing carbon dioxide emissions. June 2022 has also been confirmed as the warmest June ever recorded globally. Scientists predict that more temperature records will be broken as the summer progresses and El Niño strengthens.
