"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," said Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of C3S. "This string of record temperatures is increasing the likelihood of 2024 being the hottest year on record."
"The year-to-date (January-August 2024) global-average temperature anomaly is 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," CS3 explained.
"The average global temperature was 16.82°C, which is 0.71°C above the 1991-2020 average for August. Looking at summer as a whole (June - August), the average temperature was the highest on record at 0.69°C above the 1991-2020 average,"
