Every single month in the last 12 months has broken temperature records for the respective month. For ocean surface temperatures - it's now a 14 month streak

@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social & WMO published the European State of the Climate report covering changing temperatures

- 2023 saw a record number of days with ‘extreme heat stress’
- Heat related mortality has increased by 30% in the past 20 years

This year for #EarthDay we have done things a little differently.

The #dataviz on the cover of this report is European climate stripes data from 1980 - 2023.

Hi Signe, not yet. We will be adding polar views on the globe as additional settings in a planned update. For now the best option is to spin the globe to the relevant polar view and take a screenshot

February 2024 was the warmest February on record globally,

1.77°C warmer than pre-industrial

9th month in a row that was warmest on record for the respective month of the year

Global temperatures for the past 12 months are the highest on record, at 1.56°C above pre-industrial

Exactly right. July is the warmest month due to the land warming up faster than the global average. The ocean (SST) normally peaks in March at the end of the Austral summer due to increased solar energy hitting the ocean surface. 2023 was weird and set new record temperatures particularly for SST

New data from Copernicus Climate shows the record for the extra-polar ocean (60ºN-60ºS) has been broken over the last few days. 
New record is 21.05ºC. 
Previous record was 21.02ºC set in August 2023 ⚒️🧪

January 2024 was the warmest January on record. 
New data from CopernicusECMWF shows that we've now had 
- the eighth record breaking month in a row and 
- twelve months (Feb 23-Jan 24) with global temperatures more than 1.5ºC above the pre-industrial reference baseline. 🧪⚒️

2023 was an exceptional year with climate records tumbling like dominoes. 
Not only is 2023 the warmest year on record, it is the first year with all days over 1°C warmer than the pre-industrial period. 
Temperatures during 2023 likely exceed those of any period in at least the last 100,000 years.

Why was 2023 so warm? 
The particularly large anomalies in the final four months of 2023 are associated with significant contributions from both ocean and land, primarily from the tropics (over ocean) and the northern extratropics (over land). 🧪⚒️

2023 marks the first time on record that every day within a year has exceeded 1°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level.

The first days above 1ºC were way back in the early 1990s. First days above 1.5ºC were back in the strong El Niño events of 2016 and 2020.

2023 marks the first time on record that every day within a year has exceeded 1°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level for that time of year. Close to 50% of days were more than 1.5°C warmer than the 1850-1900 level, and two days in November were, more than 2°C warmer. ⚒️🧪

2023 is the warmest year in global temperature data records going back to 1850. - 2023 was 0.60°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average and 1.48°C warmer than the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level - Each month from June to December in 2023 was warmer than the corresponding month in any previous year 🧪⚒️

Sadly no. Ocean observations are limited to the top 2000 m (as far as I’m aware of Argo limits). Everything below 2000 m is modelled.

2023 is the warmest year in human history

We can now say this with complete certainty (barring an asteroid hitting in the final three weeks of 2023)

2023 has now had six record breaking months and two record breaking seasons (June-November).

I fully agree with Ketan here. I mean the entire cover of this new climate report is an artwork. They should hang this next to the Mona Lisa. It is a true artwork. Even Leonardo da Vinci himself, a true scientist, would personally join Just Stop Oil and will throw soup all over the Mona Lisa.

Your regular reminder that the world is still not doing nearly enough to avoid dangerous warming

If we'd started in 2000, emissions cuts of 3% a yr would have kept us below 1.5C

Now, they must fall 18% *every yr* – or we have to use "negative emissions"

Provisional ERA5 global temperature for 17th November from @CopernicusECMWF was 1.17°C above 1991-2020 - the warmest on record. Our best estimate is that this was the first day when global temperature was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C.
