De zomer van 2024 was 's werelds heetste ooit gemeten

By Ninian Carter

September 6, 2024 - Summer 2024 witnessed the hottest June and August, the hottest day. and the hottest northern hemisphere summer on record – increasing the likelihood of 2024 being the hottest year ever recorded.

During the past three months of 2024, the globe has experienced the hottest June and August, the hottest day on record, and the hottest boreal summer on record – a string of record temperatures that is increasing the likelihood of 2024 being the hottest year ever recorded.

In the year-to-date (January–August 2024), the global-average temperature anomaly was 0.70°C above the 1991-2020 average, which is the highest on record for this period and 0.23°C warmer than the same period in 2023.

The average anomaly for the remaining months of this year would need to drop by at least 0.30°C for 2024 not to be warmer than 2023.

This has never happened in the entire Copernicus ERA5 dataset (1940 to present day), making it increasingly likely that 2024 will be the warmest year on record.
