Summer 2024 sweltered to Earth’s hottest on record, making it even more
likely that this year will end up as the warmest humanity has measured,
European climate service Copernicus reported Friday.
And if this sounds familiar, that’s because the records the globe
shattered were set just last year as human-caused climate change, with a
temporary boost from an El Nino, keeps dialing up temperatures and
extreme weather, scientists said.
The northern meteorological summer — June, July and August — averaged
16.8 degrees Celsius (62.24 degrees Fahrenheit), according to
Copernicus. That’s 0.03 degrees Celsius (0.05 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer
than the old record in 2023. Copernicus records go back to 1940, but
American, British and Japanese records, which start in the mid-19th
century, show the last decade has been the hottest since regular
measurements were taken and likely in about 120,000 years, according to
some scientists.
