Japan recorded its hottest summer on record in 2023, the agency’s meteorological agency said Friday, while Australia notched its hottest winter in the southern hemisphere, continuing a year of heat records seen across the globe as the Earth continues to heat up amid the impacts of climate change.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) in the U.S. has projected 2023 will almost certainly be one of the top five hottest years on record, with a nearly 50% chance that it will be the warmest. The hottest year on record is 2016, and NOAA notes the 10 warmest years on record have all taken place since 2010.
2023 has seen record-breaking temperatures across the globe as climate change continues to have an impact. July broke a global record as the warmest July on record, with July 4 becoming the hottest day on Earth in more than 100,000 years, after other months this year landed within the top 10. Heat records have been broken across the U.S., Europe and around the world, including in such countries as China, Italy and Spain and across the U.S.’s Gulf coast and Southwest. The extreme heat has been largely attributed to the impacts of global warming,
scientists have said, warning the effects are only likely to worsen as time goes on without reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. “The extreme weather which has affected many millions of people in July is unfortunately the harsh reality of climate change and a foretaste of the future,” Prof. Petteri Taalas, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, told the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.
