Scientists say the world is “on track for its hottest year ever” and temperatures are about to be 1.4C warmer.
September 2023 was the hottest on record. Climatologists believe that the reason is not only climate change. Sky News reported this.
The European Climate Change Center Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said that in September the average air temperature on the surface of the planet reached 16.38 degrees Celsius.
This has been 0.5 degrees higher than the previous warm September 2020.
It is also the largest temperature increase since 1940.
“That’s a lot. We shouldn’t be breaking records like that,” said climate scientist Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading.
“Breaking the previous September record by a whopping 0.5°C is crazy and shows that something really strange is going on,” added Piers Forster, professor of climate change at the University of Leeds.
Scientists say the world is “on track for its hottest year ever” and temperatures are about to be 1.4C warmer.
“We think this is driven by a combination of factors, primarily greenhouse gas emissions, which are at record levels,” Forster added.
We remind you that weather forecasters are predicting a warm October. Average monthly temperatures are forecast to fluctuate between 7-13°C, which is 1-1.5° above normal.
