After a summer of record-smashing heat, warming somehow got even worse in September.
Updated: 1 minute agoFILE - A man stands under a mister to cool off from the heat in Montreal, Sept. 6, 2023. After a summer of record-smashing heat, warming somehow got even worse in September as Earth set a new mark for how far above normal temperatures were, the European climate agency reported Thursday, Oct. 5.
“It’s just mind-blowing really,” said Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo. “Never seen anything like that in any month in our records.” Copernicus calculated that the average temperature for September was 16.38 degrees Celsius , which broke the old record set in September 2020 by a whopping half-degree Celsius . That’s a huge margin in climate records.
The global threshold goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius is for long-term temperature averages, not a single month or year. But scientists still expressed grave concern at the records being set.

September sizzled to records and was so much warmer than average scientists call it 'mind-blowing'After a record-smashing hot summer, Earth's warming somehow got even worse in September. The European climate agency says temperatures last month set a new mark for how far above normal they hit. The month’s average temperature was 0.93 degrees Celsius (1.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above its average from 1991-2020. That's the warmest margin above average for a month in 83 years of records kept by the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. Copernicus officials say 2023 is now on track for the hottest year on record, about 1.4 degrees Celsius (2.5 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than pre-industrial times.
