[The European climate service Copernicus says Earth just sweltered to its hottest summer on record]
Summer 2024 sweltered to Earth's hottest on record, making it even more likely that this year will end up as the warmest humanity has measured, European climate service Copernicus reported Friday.
And if this sounds familiar, that's because the records the globe shattered were set just last year as human-caused climate change, with a temporary boost from an El Nino, keeps dialing up temperatures and extreme weather, scientists said.
The northern meteorological summer — June, July and August — averaged 16.8 degrees Celsius (62.24 degrees Fahrenheit), according to Copernicus. That's 0.03 degrees Celsius (0.05 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the old record in 2023. Copernicus records go back to 1940, but American, British and Japanese records, which start in the mid-19th century, show the last decade has been the hottest since regular measurements were taken and likely in about 120,000 years, according to some scientists.
The Augusts of both 2024 and 2023 tied for the hottest Augusts globally at 16.82 degrees Celsius (62.27 degrees Fahrenheit). July was the first time in more than a year that the world did not set a record, a tad behind 2023, but because June 2024 was so much hotter than June 2023, this summer as a whole was the hottest, Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo said.
“What those sober numbers indicate is how the climate crisis is tightening its grip on us,” said Stefan Rahmstorf, a climate scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research, who wasn't part of the research.
It's a sweaty grip because with the high temperatures, the dew point — one of several ways to measure the air's humidity — probably was at or near record high this summer for much of the world, Buontempo said.

Wow, what a sentence.
Temperatures for the next week to range between 70-89 degrees…very mild for this time of year. I’m looking forward to a lower than normal TXU bill in October. This is for North Texas.

Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. Scared enough yet? Gimme all your dough an’ I’ll save ya. Now, runalong! Drown yer sorrows in a bucket o’ Jack Daniels and a pound or two o’ fentynal. But be careful and don’t trip and fall over the edge of yer flat earth, ye freakin’ loser.

Is that one of those fast climate change shops? In and out in 30 minutes, guaranteed
I remember the dire warnings about the impending ice age.
I’ll take warming over an ice age, thank you.
Send it on down.

Exactly!
These ‘Global Warmists’ must live where they never have to don a Parka and shovel ‘Twelve inches of Partly Cloudy’ off the driveway. ;)
Records 150 years ago are not all complete or accurate. When few people lived in the mid-wester states there were tornadoes that were never recorded. Places that had torrential downpours, never recorded. Storms out at sea, never recorded because there were no witnesses. No radar, no satellites, no computers. Imho accurate records maybe only 75 years or less.
