"Spring Storm Brings Winter Weather to Southern California and Bay Area"

A cold storm is hitting Southern California, bringing winter-like temperatures, high winds, and low-elevation snow, with temperatures dropping into the 50s across the coasts and valleys and much lower in the mountains. The storm is expected to cause travel difficulties, with snow accumulation in mountain areas and a possibility of setting daily temperature records. The effects of the storm are expected to clear out by Saturday, with dry and warmer weather on the way.

"Record-Breaking Warming: Earth Surpasses 1.5°C Limit for 12 Consecutive Months"

The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported that January 2024 was the hottest January on record, continuing a trend of exceptional heat driven by climate change. This follows 2023 being the hottest year globally since 1850. The C3S Deputy Director emphasized the urgent need for rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to prevent further temperature increases. Despite the likelihood of the El Nino phenomenon weakening and potentially shifting to the cooler La Nina counterpart, global sea surface temperatures in January 2024 were the highest on record. While the world has exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial reference period, it has not yet breached the Paris Agreement target, prompting calls for accelerated action to limit the impact of climate change.

2023: The Hottest Year Ever

November 2023 was the hottest November on record globally, with temperatures surpassing the previous record by a significant margin. Land and ocean areas both experienced their warmest November on record, and it was the eighth consecutive month with record-high global ocean temperatures. El Niño conditions intensified in the eastern tropical Pacific, reaching the "strong" category. Arctic sea ice extent was the seventh-lowest on record, while Antarctic sea ice extent was the second-lowest, indicating a regime shift to a new state of inevitable decline caused by ocean warming. The year 2023 is virtually certain to be the warmest on record globally, with a greater than 99.5% chance, and there is a possibility that 2024 could be even warmer.

2023: Hottest Year Ever Recorded, Scientists Warn

European Union scientists have declared that 2023 will be the hottest year on record, with global mean temperatures for the first 11 months surpassing the previous highest level by 1.46 degrees Celsius. This announcement comes as governments are engaged in discussions at the COP28 summit on whether to phase out the use of CO2-emitting coal, oil, and gas. November 2023 was also the warmest November on record globally. The EU scientists emphasize the need to reach net-zero emissions as soon as possible to mitigate the escalating impacts of heatwaves and droughts. Efforts to meet the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement are falling behind, and the EU has implemented ambitious climate change policies to cut net emissions by 55% from 1990 levels by 2030.

2023 Projected to Be Hottest Year in 125,000 Years, Say Scientists

European Union scientists have declared that this year is "virtually certain" to be the warmest in the past 125,000 years, with last month being the hottest October on record. The temperature anomaly in October was a significant 0.4 degrees Celsius higher than the previous record, attributed to ongoing greenhouse gas emissions and the emergence of the El Nino weather pattern. The global average surface air temperature in October was 1.7 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial period. The record-breaking October makes it highly likely that 2023 will be the warmest year ever recorded. Climate change is leading to increasingly destructive extreme weather events, emphasizing the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Record-breaking September heat intensifies climate fears for 2023

Scientists warn that 2023 is on track to be the hottest year on record, with September experiencing the largest temperature anomalies since 1940. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported that global average temperatures for January to September were 1.4 degrees Celsius higher than the preindustrial period. The extreme heat is fueled by the climate crisis, primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels. The findings emphasize the urgent need for ambitious climate action ahead of the COP28 climate conference. The recent U.N. report confirmed that the world is not on track to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. El Niño conditions are also developing, contributing to higher global temperatures and extreme weather events. Pope Francis and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres have both issued warnings about the dire consequences of climate change.
