The year-to-date period of January-August is the second-warmest on record globally. 2023 now very likely to be Earth’s warmest year on record About 98% of the global population was exposed to extreme heat made at least two times more likely by human-caused global warming during this period. ![]() □: /Chje3zZ4A0- World Meteorological Organization September 6, 2023Īccording to an analysis by Climate Central, 3.9 billion people across the world suffered extreme temperatures made at least three times more likely by climate change for over 30 days during the June-August period 1.5 billion people experienced extreme temperatures at this level for all 92 days of the June-August period. As reported in our post on Monday, August ranked as the ninth-warmest August on record in the United States.Įarth had the hottest three-month period on record, with unprecedented sea surface temperatures and extreme weather. August broke the record in South America for greatest monthly departure of temperature from average for any month: +2.4 degrees Celsius (+4.32☏). North America, Asia, Africa, and South America each had their warmest August on record Europe, and Oceania each had their second-warmest August. Land and ocean areas each had their warmest August on record in 2023, and August was the fifth consecutive month with record-high global ocean temperatures, which have been unusually extreme (see Tweet below). Record-warm temperatures covered nearly 13% of the world’s surface. Departure of temperature from average for August 2023, the hottest August for the globe since record-keeping began in 1850. Global temperature analyses extend back to 1850 in the NOAA database. NASA, Berkeley Earth, the Japan Meteorological Agency, and the European Copernicus Climate Change Service also rated August 2023 as the warmest August on record, crushing the previous August record by a huge margin. KUT's Trey Shaar contributed to this story.August 2023 smashed the record for hottest August in Earth’s history, spiking to a remarkable 1.25 degrees Celsius (2.25☏) above the 20th-century average, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information reported September 14. "While it was nice to see Austin take a break from the long streak of 100-degree temperatures today, a new streak will begin Wednesday for another week or so," the National Weather Service said in a tweet. Tuesday's rainfall and slightly lower temperatures will only be a short reprieve. (What's the difference between the two weather stations? We're glad you asked.) Tuesday's rain came from an outer band of the remnants of Tropical Storm Harold, which made landfall near Corpus Christi this morning.Ĭamp Mabry - Austin's weather station of record - got 0.11 inches of rain, while the weather station at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport measured 0.14 inches of rain. Camp Mabry last recorded rain - one-hundredth of an inch to be exact - on July 22. Tuesday also marked the city's first rainfall in a month. KUT's Mose Buchele reported last week that meteorologists expect this summer to surpass 2011 as Austin’s hottest ever on average. The previous record, set in 2011, was 27 days of consecutive triple digits. The temperature at the Camp Mabry weather station is not expected to climb above 99 degrees Tuesday, capping 45 days of uninterrupted triple-digit heat. Austin's record-breaking streak of triple-digit temperatures is finally coming to an end.
