Data released by Copernicus Climate shows: 📈 June 2024 was the warmest June on record 📈 The global average temperature for the last 12 months is the highest on record, 1.64ºC above pre-industrial 🌡️ 15th months that SST has been the warmest on record More: climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-j... 🧪⚒️

Every single month in the last 12 months has broken temperature records for the respective month. For ocean surface temperatures - it's now a 14 month streak  More: climate.copernicus.eu/press-releases  #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction ⚒️🧪

“We are playing Russian roulette with our planet,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres. “We need an exit ramp off the highway to climate hell. Powerful speech on #WorldEnvironmentDay‌ @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social data show warmest 12 months on record 💙🤍💙💛🧡❤️💔 #ClimateAction 🧪⚒️

April 2024 is the 11th consecutive record-breaking month The global average temperature for the past 12 months is the highest on record: - at 1.61°C above pre-industrial - 13th month that the SST has been the warmest on record #ClimateCrisis 🧪⚒️ More: climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-g...

@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social & WMO published the European State of the Climate report covering changing temperatures - 2023 saw a record number of days with ‘extreme heat stress’ - Heat related mortality has increased by 30% in the past 20 years #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction 🧪⚒️

This year for #EarthDay we have done things a little differently. The #dataviz on the cover of this report is European climate stripes data from 1980 - 2023. Designed by @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social colleague Anna Lombardi and inspired by @edhawkins.bsky.social #warmingstripes 🧪⚒️🌍

Flower petals showing European annual temperatures since 1980. Loving the cover design of the European State of the Climate report (led by @oceanterra.bsky.social). Designed by Anna Lombardi. The report highlights how extreme the climate of 2023 was for Europe: climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2023

Today @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social and the WMO launch the State of the Climate Report 2023 - how climate impacted Europe. Flooding is in the news a lot. 🧪⚒️ - Flooding affected ~ 1.6 M Europeans; - 81% of 2023's climate related losses were due to flooding More: climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2023

March 2024 continues to see climate records toppling, with the 10th consecutive record-breaking month. Global average temperature is the highest on record, with the past 12 months 1.58°C above pre-industrial levels. More: climate.copernicus.eu/press-releases #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis 🧪⚒️

The global ocean is at record high surface ocean temperatures  Large parts of the tropical ocean are the warmest ever and the global ocean has spent the last SIX weeks above 21ºC  Find out more pulse.climate.copernicus.eu  #climateaction #climatecrisis 🧪⚒️🌍

Data is out from Copernicus Climate for the boreal spring/austral autumn solstice and the global temperature records continue for both air and sea surface temperature 👉check out pulse.climate.copernicus.eu #climatecrisis ⚒️🧪🌍 #earthsky

This we can now say with absolute confidence: Any Government City or town Business Community Family Individual That does not discuss these two data points, understand what they mean and understand the impacts of this, are going to face *severe* disruption. We are racing into a brand new world.

February 2024 was the warmest February on record globally, 1.77°C warmer than pre-industrial 9th month in a row that was warmest on record for the respective month of the year Global temperatures for the past 12 months are the highest on record, at 1.56°C above pre-industrial #climate ⚒️🧪

With @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social new tool Climate Pulse, we can see that by the end of February global temperatures have ‘cooled’ from record-breaking levels to 2023 levels for this time of year 👉 check it out: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu 🧪⚒️🌍

Extremely excited to introduce Climate Pulse - the latest application from #CopernicusClimate to start #climate conversations giving users global temperature data two days behind real time.  👉 Check it out: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu  *beta release - constructive feedback welcome:) 🧪⚒️🛰️🌍

Exciting update! @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social - launch the Interactive Climate Atlas atlas.climate.copernicus.eu/atlas  This new tool builds on the data of the IPCC Climate Atlas and enables exploration of CMIP6 climate projections and other datasets including observations and reanalysis.

New data from Copernicus Climate shows the record for the extra-polar ocean (60ºN-60ºS) has been broken over the last few days.  New record is 21.05ºC.  Previous record was 21.02ºC set in August 2023 ⚒️🧪

January 2024 was the warmest January on record.  New data from CopernicusECMWF shows that we've now had  - the eighth record breaking month in a row and  - twelve months (Feb 23-Jan 24) with global temperatures more than 1.5ºC above the pre-industrial reference baseline. 🧪⚒️

2023 was an exceptional year with climate records tumbling like dominoes.  Not only is 2023 the warmest year on record, it is the first year with all days over 1°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.  Temperatures during 2023 likely exceed those of any period in at least the last 100,000 years.

Why was 2023 so warm?  The particularly large anomalies in the final four months of 2023 are associated with significant contributions from both ocean and land, primarily from the tropics (over ocean) and the northern extratropics (over land). 🧪⚒️

2023 marks the first time on record that every day within a year has exceeded 1°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level.  The first days above 1ºC were way back in the early 1990s. First days above 1.5ºC were back in the strong El Niño events of 2016 and 2020.

2023 marks the first time on record that every day within a year has exceeded 1°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level for that time of year. Close to 50% of days were more than 1.5°C warmer than the 1850-1900 level, and two days in November were, more than 2°C warmer. ⚒️🧪

2023 is the warmest year in global temperature data records going back to 1850. - 2023 was 0.60°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average and 1.48°C warmer than the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level - Each month from June to December in 2023 was warmer than the corresponding month in any previous year 🧪⚒️

2023 is the warmest year in human history  We can now say this with complete certainty (barring an asteroid hitting in the final three weeks of 2023)  2023 has now had six record breaking months and two record breaking seasons (June-November).   More: climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-n...
