In the summer of 2023, no matter where you lived, it was difficult
to ignore how our shifting climate has upended many rites of the
season.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Few parts of the country were spared. Children
at summer camps stayed inside. People worked and played outside
late at night. Some considered moving to escape the worst effects.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Now, many Americans are looking to their future
summers and wondering if they will ever be the same.<br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>Why Summers May Never Be the Same</b><br>
The globe’s warmest months on record redefined summer for many
Americans.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">A Shifting Sense of Childhood<br>
As temperatures soared, summer break felt different.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">When Indoors Became an Escape<br>
Smoke and heat wore away at the tug of nature.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Time, Turned on Its Head<br>
Amid scorching days, the night came alive.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Unsettled in Familiar Places<br>
A summer that left some wondering about home.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">They wanted to come north to escape the
Southern California heat, which they knew was getting worse.
Settling near one of the Great Lakes — and within a few hours’
drive of a big city with plenty of amenities — felt like the right
long-term move.<br>
<br>
“It’s cooler, it’s wetter, it’s near Chicago, it has lots of fresh
water,” he said. “Although we understand there is no one place
that is immune to the effects.”</font><br>

<b>Copernicus: September 2023 – unprecedented temperature
anomalies; 2023 on track to be the warmest year on record</b><br>
DATE:5th October 2023<br>
</font>
<p><font face="Calibri">The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S),
implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather
Forecasts on behalf of the European Commission with funding from
the EU, routinely publishes monthly climate bulletins reporting
on the changes observed in global surface air temperature, sea
ice cover and hydrological variables. All the reported findings
are based on computer-generated analyses using billions of
measurements from satellites, ships, aircraft and weather
stations around the world. <br>
<br>
September 2023 – Surface air temperature and sea surface
temperature highlights:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Calibri">September 2023 was the warmest September
on record globally, with an average surface air temperature of
16.38°C, 0.93°C above the 1991-2020 average for September and
0.5°C above the temperature of the previous warmest September,
in 2020. </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">September 2023 global temperature was the
most anomalous warm month of any year in the ERA5 dataset
(back to 1940). </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">The month as a whole was around 1.75°C
warmer than the September average for 1850-1900, the
preindustrial reference period. </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">The global temperature for
January-September 2023 was 0.52°C higher than average, and
0.05°C higher than the equivalent period in the warmest
calendar year (2016). </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">For January to September 2023, the global
mean temperature for 2023 to date is 1.40°C higher than the
preindustrial average (1850-1900). </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">For Europe, September 2023 was the
warmest September on record, at 2.51°C higher than the
1991-2020 average, and 1.1°C higher than 2020, the previous
warmest September. </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">The average sea surface temperature for
September over 60°S–60°N reached 20.92°C, the highest on
record for September and the second highest across all months,
behind August 2023. </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">El Niño conditions continued to develop
over the equatorial eastern Pacific.</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Calibri"> September 2023 – Sea ice highlights<br>
</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Calibri">Antarctic sea ice extent remained at a
record low level for the time of year. </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">Both the daily and monthly extents
reached their lowest annual maxima in the satellite record in
September, with the monthly extent 9% below average. </font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">The daily Arctic sea ice extent reached
its 6th lowest annual minimum while the monthly sea ice extent
ranked 5th lowest, at 18% below average. </font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Calibri">According to Samantha Burgess, Deputy
Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S): "The
unprecedented temperatures for the time of year observed in
September - following a record summer - have broken records by
an extraordinary amount. This extreme month has pushed 2023 into
the dubious honour of first place - on track to be the warmest
year and around 1.4°C above preindustrial average temperatures.
Two months out from COP28 – the sense of urgency for ambitious
climate action has never been more critical.”...<br>
