Last month’s average temperature was 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit above the 1991-2020 average for September
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.
While July and August had hotter raw temperatures because they are warmer months on the calendar, September had what scientists call the biggest anomaly, or departure from normal. Temperature anomalies are crucial pieces of data in a warming world. The hot temperatures stretched across the globe but they were chiefly driven by persistent and unusual warmth in the world’s oceans, which didn’t cool off as much in September as normal and have been record hot since spring, said Buontempo.
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.
