![]() Antarctic winter sea ice extent was the lowest on record for the time of year. The temperature anomalies are enormous – far bigger than anything we have ever seen in the past. “Since June, the world has experienced unprecedented heat on land and sea. Antarctica had its warmest September (and sea ice extent remained at seasonal record lows), and the Arctic had its second warmest September on record. September 2023 tied August 2023 for the highest monthly sea surface temperature anomaly (+1.85☏ or +1.03☌) on record. Asia had its second-warmest September, while September in Oceania ranked third warmest, according to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.įor the sixth consecutive month, September saw a record-high monthly global ocean surface temperature. North America, South America, Europe and Africa each had their warmest September on record. NASA also confirmed that it was by far the warmest September. September 2023 was warmer than the average July from 2001-2010. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said there is a greater than 99% probability that 2023 will rank as the warmest year on record. September was far and away the most atypically warm month of any in NOAA’s 174 years of climate keeping. ![]() This was 0.5☌ above the temperature of the previous warmest September, in 2020, and around 1.75☌ warmer for the month of September compared to the pre-industrial reference 1850-1900 period. The year 2023 is now on track to be the warmest year on record, with June, July, August and September all breaking monthly temperature records.Īccording to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) implemented by the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts, September had an average surface temperature of 16.38☌. ![]() This continues an extended streak of extraordinary land and sea-surface temperatures and is an ominous signal about the speed with which greenhouse gases are changing our climate. Earth just had the hottest September on record – and by a record-breaking margin, according to the leading international datasets which are used by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for its State of the Global Climate monitoring. ![]()
