2023 is set to be the hottest year. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) report also states that the warmest September on record has passed. The global temperature from January to September this year was 0.52 degrees Celsius above the average. Prior to this, 2016 was considered to be the hottest year on record. The highest temperature in the first nine months of 2016 was 0.05 degrees Celsius. The current global temperature is 1.40 degrees Celsius higher than the average temperature during the period 1850 to 1900.
The report has been released just two months before the UN climate talks to be held in Dubai. C3S Deputy Director Samantha Burgess said the report was the biggest proof yet that climate change needs to be tackled quickly. Scientists believe that excessive use of biofuels is the cause of climate challenges and increase in heat waves and hurricanes. The average surface temperature in September this year was 16.38 degree Celsius. According to the report, this was 0.93 Celsius higher than September in the period 1991-2020. The temperature is 0.5 Celsius higher than September 2020. This was 1.75 degrees Celsius higher than during the Industrial Revolution.
The report also indicates that September is also Europe’s wettest year. Greece experienced heavy rainfall as part of Storm Daniel and heavy flooding in Libya killed more than a thousand people. Heavy rain was also experienced in other parts of Europe. Heavy rain was reported in the western Iberian Peninsula, Ireland, eastern Britain and the Scandinavian countries in September. Apart from Europe, heavy rains also occurred in Brazil and Chile, according to the report.
