September 2024 has emerged as the second-warmest September on record both globally and across Europe, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
\"September 2024 was the second-warmest September globally, after September 2023,\" the agency announced in a press release. The average surface air temperature reached 16.17 degrees Celsius, marking an increase of 0.73 degrees above the 1991-2020 September average.
Additionally, the global average temperature from January to September 2024 has been the highest ever recorded for this period, surpassing the previous record by 0.19 degrees. These figures strongly indicate that 2024 is on track to be the warmest year on record.
The consistent rise in global temperatures underscores the urgent need for comprehensive climate action to mitigate the impacts of global warming and ensure a sustainable future.
