According to the European climate service Copernicus, August 2026 was the hottest month worldwide in the history of measurements. The average air temperature at the Earth's surface reached 16.96 degrees Celsius, matching the record set in July 2023. aktuality.sk ↗
The temperature was also 1.65 degrees higher than in the pre-industrial period. Copernicus data goes back to 1940. Scientists stated that the result is linked to climate change and the growing influence of the El Niño phenomenon. idnes.cz ↗
Extremely warm conditions were also recorded in Europe. The western part of the continent was hit during the summer by record-breaking heat, drought, and extensive wildfires. According to available data, the high temperatures had serious consequences for people, and thousands of people died as a result of the heat.
Ocean temperatures also reached record values. The climate service warned that a continuation of this trend could increase risks to human health, nature, and the environment in Europe and other parts of the world.
August thus ranked at the top of the global temperature statistics alongside July 2023. Experts also expect that, in connection with ongoing climate change, new temperature records may continue to be set in the future. Die Zeit ↗
