2023 shaping up to be warmest year in NOAA's global climate record.
Last month marked another month of record-breaking temperatures throughout the globe, with September 2023 ranking as the warmest September in NOAA’s 174-year global climate record.
September’s temperature also helped propel 2023 into the lead as the warmest year-to-date on record, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
“September 2023 was the fourth month in a row of record-warm global temperatures,” said NOAA Chief Scientist Dr. Sarah Kapnick. “Not only was it the warmest September on record, it was far and away the most atypically warm month of any in NOAA’s 174 years of climate keeping. To put it another way, September 2023 was warmer than the average July from 2001-2010.”
