Record-breaking warmth has been observed in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with November 2023 being the warmest on record. The global temperature anomalies and sea surface temperatures have been consistently high, indicating a strong El Niño event. The September to November season also experienced the three largest global temperature anomalies on record, with significant local record highs. These observations suggest that 2023 is likely to become the warmest year on record, possibly exceeding 1.5°C. The data comes from various sources including NOAA and Berkeley Earth.
The September to November season was a scorcher, with the three largest global temperature anomalies on record. 19% of the Earth's surface – including 32% of the land – saw a three month average that set a new local record high. https://t.co/C4EW8sRxDC https://t.co/KTVjFfCUMr
Berkeley Earth November Temperature Update The warmest November since measurements began in 1850, with records for both land and ocean individually. Essentially certain that 2023 becomes the warmest year, and very likely to exceed 1.5 °C in our dataset. https://t.co/GLdHSIHTmY https://t.co/0XaqL0SCc4
Global mean sea surface temperature anomalies (departure from average) so far this year ➡️ easily the warmest on record [Data from @NOAA ERSSTv5 averaged over January to November] https://t.co/AbwRHh7Izv
The Ensemble Oceanic Nino Index (ENS ONI) has just been updated through November. The latest ENS ONI values are ~+1.6C for Sep-Oct-Nov, making this the 9th strongest El Niño since 1850! With an uncertainty of ~ +/- 0.2-0.25C, we're quite solidly into "Strong" El Niño… https://t.co/Is8tbTdCt8

As a strong El Nino bites, global temperature anomalies show a similar trend to the powerful natural variation in 2015-16. Last month’s ‘hottest ever’ November was just 1/14th of a degree C higher than the El Nino peak in February 2016 My latest article for the Daily Sceptic https://t.co/gXDx7Jo60J
In case you're wondering, this is what record Winter heat in the Northern hemisphere looks like. https://t.co/aPEXtjoP2L
