Northern meteorological summer – June, July and August – averaged 16.8 degrees Celsius
The thermometer screen at the Cavalry Church displays a temperature reading of 121 degrees on Sept. 5, 2024 in Woodland Hills, California. Californians were being warned on September 3 to prepare to swelter as a fearsome heatwave settles over the western U.S. state.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.
The Augusts of both 2024 and 2023 tied for the hottest Augusts globally at 16.82 degrees Celsius. July was the first time in more than a year that the world did not set a record, a tad behind 2023, but because June 2024 was so much hotter than June 2023, this summer as a whole was the hottest, Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo said.
Until last month Buontempo, like some other climate scientists, was on the fence over whether 2024 would smash the hottest year record set last year, mostly because August 2023 was so enormously hotter than average. But then this August 2024 matched 2023, making Buontempo “pretty certain” that this year will end up hottest on record.
Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center in Cape Cod, said there’s been a deluge of extreme weather of heat, floods, wildfires and high winds that are violent and dangerous.
