September 2024 Recorded as Second Hottest September Globally

Extreme weather events and record temperatures highlight the ongoing impact of climate change.

September 2024 is confirmed as the second hottest September on record, continuing a trend of exceptionally high temperatures.
Copernicus data suggests 2024 is likely to surpass 2023 as the hottest year ever recorded.
Extreme weather, including intense rainfall and storms, has been exacerbated by the elevated global temperatures.
Significant weather events include typhoons in Asia, hurricanes in the U.S., and severe monsoons in Pakistan.
Warmer ocean temperatures, absorbing over 90% of excess heat, are a major factor in the persistent climate anomalies.
