The months of June, July, and August were the hottest since the beginning of NASA’s global temperature records, with a difference of 0.23°C (0.41°F) compared to previous averages!
This intense summer and temperature increase have brought severe consequences, such as the devastating wildfires in Canada and Hawaii, heatwaves in various parts of the world, including Japan and Europe, and heavy rains in Italy, Greece, and Central Europe.
Furthermore, one of the main causes of all this heat was the rise in sea surface temperatures, partly due to El Niño, a natural climatic phenomenon characterized by Pacific Ocean warming. According to Bill Nelson, NASA administrator:
“The record temperatures of the Summer of 2023 are not just a set of numbers – they result in real and severe consequences in the real world. […] The impacts of climate change pose a threat to our planet and future generations.”
Summer 2023 was the hottest summer in NASA’s record, continuing a trend of long-term warming caused by human activity.
