The European Union’s climate monitoring unit announced that average global temperatures in early June shattered previous records by a substantial margin. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), led by deputy director Samantha Burgess, confirmed that the world experienced its hottest early June ever recorded.
Analyzing the ERA5 data, which spans back to 1950, the C3S noted that global-mean surface air temperatures during the initial days of June 2023 surpassed any historical measurements for the same period.
Although temperatures have since decreased, experts emphasize that this brief surge in early June established a new global heat record for the month. It serves as a forewarning of more extreme weather events on the horizon, as the planet enters an El Niño phase that could extend over several years.
Researchers at the EU’s Copernicus unit further revealed that global surface air temperatures in early June rose by 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels for the first time—a pivotal threshold that governments committed to staying within during the 2015 Paris summit.
