October also breaks a global heat record: 2023 is almost certainly the warmest year since measurements began

Global temperatures continue to rise by exceptionally large steps this year. Measurements by the European Copernicus Climate Service show that another heat record was broken in October – and not by small numbers. Globally it was 0.4 degrees warmer than in October 2019, when the previous record for the month of October was set. According to Copernicus, it is almost certain that 2023 will go down as the warmest year since measurements began.
