September Broke the Global Heat Record by a ‘Gobsmackingly Bananas’ Margin - Tiangou - 10-07-2023

(Bloomberg) -- The global average temperature for September broke records by such an absurd margin that climate experts are struggling to describe the phenomenon.
“This month was — in my professional opinion as a climate scientist — absolutely gobsmackingly bananas,” Zeke Hausfather, a researcher with Berkeley Earth, said on the social media platforms Bluesky and X.
The numbers are stark. September 2023 beat the previous record for the month, set in 2020, by 0.5C (0.9F), according to data sets maintained by the Japan Meteorological Agency and the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. The temperature anomaly for the month was roughly 1.7C above pre-industrial levels, which is above the symbolic 1.5C mark set as the stretch goal in the Paris Agreement...
Interesting sidenite: Yesterday, radio commentators were describing the best places to go to see fall colors on the trees in this area. They prefaced the piece by saying that thanks to the hot and humid September, few trees have put on fall colors.
...Which made me take another look at the trees in this area. I have a preserve nearby that's usually a dense leafy green jungle in the summer, but changes to brilliant red in the fall. It's a mass of greenery. No sign of leaves changing color.

Wrong side, there are some very fragile anthropomorphic climate change skeptics on this side.

It was a very mild sept around here. Especially compared to last year when the alltime high of 116º was set on sept 7

It's a hot day here, but the humidity is only 37%.
Last week or so, the temperature was mid-70s and 78% humidity.
I'll take the former any day.

Weird September in NYC. 14 days of rain, and over 14" of rainfall. Plus the only official heatwave (meaning at least 3 consecutive 90+ days) of the year.

Is that a Metric or Imperial Gobsmacking?
Up until two weeks ago, my area almost had little enough rain in the current weather year to be considered a desert. Luckily late snows kept the fire danger down, or there could have been another record fire season. The Fall rain will hopefully alleviate the drought.

We had our second ever 90°+ day in October on Monday. It’s 45° right now.
