September was world’s hottest on record, climate scientists sayLast month was the hottest September on record across the globe, climate scientists have revealed.
Surface air temperatures were 0.05C warmer than the year before, experts from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service said.
Last month was the hottest in Europe, beating the record set in 2018 by about 0.2C. Temperatures were also abnormally high in the Middle East, Australia and South America.
A hot spell in the Siberian Arctic, which has affected the region for several months, contributed to the overall rise in autumn temperatures while sea ice melted to its second-lowest level on record. Parts of Britain hit 30C in September for the first time in four years. The record temperature for the month is 35.6C, set in Bawtry, South Yorkshire, in 1906.
Carlo Buontempo, director of the climate change service, said: “There was an unusually rapid decline in Arctic sea ice extent during June and July, in the same region where above-average temperatures were recorded. The combination of record temperatures and low Arctic sea ice in 2020 highlights the importance of improved and more comprehensive monitoring in a region warming faster than anywhere else in the world.”
David Mond, professor of mathematics at the University of Warwick, said: “We’ve now had 43 consecutive Septembers, and 417 consecutive months, with temperatures above the 20th-century average. The increases may not seem huge but lead to a huge increase in the frequency of what were previously exceptional events: record-breaking forest fires in California, rainfall in the French Alps so intense that it washes away roads, houses and even the bodies from cemeteries, and so many Atlantic hurricanes that we ran out of names.”
