According to the latest monthly climate update from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), October 2023 was the warmest October globally in the ERA5 data record, going back to 1940, The average surface air temperature reached 15.30°C, 0.85°C above the 1991-2020 average for October. This marks the second-highest global temperature anomaly across all months in the ERA5 dataset, after September 2023 (with an anomaly of 0.93°C).
October 2023 was 1.7°C above the average for 1850-1900, designated as the pre-industrial reference period.
From January to October, the year 2023 was 0.1°C warmer than the ten-month average for 2016, currently the warmest calendar year on record, and 1.43°C warmer than the pre-industrial reference period. This was the fifth consecutive month of record temperatures globally. That makes 2023 on track to become the warmest year ever.
Sea surface temperature for the extrapolar oceans (over 60°S–60°N) was the highest on record for October at 20.79°C.
Nov. 17 we did it, even if just for one day. It was the first time in recorded history that the global 2m surface temperature breached 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline.
