Global Temp Way up in September 2023
[DrRoySpencer] The Version 6 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for September, 2023 was +0.90 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean. This is above the August 2023 anomaly of +0.70 deg. C, and establishes a new monthly high temperature record since satellite temperature monitoring began in December, 1978.

some speculation that this is partly a response to the Tonga Undersea Volcanic Eruption of 2022 which injected the upper atmosphere with a lot of water vapor
To quote a comment seen at WattsUpWithThat, where Dr. Spencer’s post was reblogged, “The Earth is still in a 2.56 million-year ice age in a cold interglacial period that alternates with very cold glacial periods. Outside of the tropics people still need to wear warm clothes and shoes, live in warmed houses, use warmed transportation, and work in warmed workplaces most of the year.” |
