During October, parts of the United States and Mexico were hit by drought, while the rest of the world experienced wetter-than-normal weather, often associated with storms and cyclones.

Sea surface temperatures were the highest ever recorded in October, boosted by global warming, which scientists say is playing a role in making storms fiercer and more destructive.

“October 2023 has seen exceptional temperature anomalies after four months in which global temperature records were broken,” said C3S Deputy Director Samantha Burgess.

“We can almost certainly say that 2023 will be the warmest year so far, and [vidējā temperatūra] currently 1.43 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average.”

The average temperature in October this year was 1.7 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial average October temperature.

C3S added that the global average temperature since January of this year was the highest since such measurements were started in 1940, and exceeded the average temperature of the pre-industrial era of 1850-1900 by 1.43 degrees Celsius.

The average sea surface temperature, excluding the polar regions, reached 20.79 degrees Celsius last month, the highest ever for October.
