Unusual global temperatures in November that lasted two days 2 ºC above pre-industrial temperatures, convert to 2023 in the warmest year because the records exist.
That’s the takeaway from the latest monthly newsletter Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), which reports recorded changes in surface air temperature, sea ice cover and hydrological variables on a global scale.
November 2023 was warmest November on record in the worldwith an average surface air temperature of 14.22°C, 0.85°C above the 1991–2020 average for this month and 0.32°C above November 2020, which was the warmest November to date .
The global temperature anomaly in November 2023 was equal to the anomaly in October 2023 and only lower than in September 2023 (0.93°C). Likewise, last month it was 1.75 ºC. warmer than the estimated average for November 1850-1900, pre-industrial base period.

Likewise, according to the Copernicus bulletin, this year (January to November) the average global temperature in 2023 was the highest since records began: 1.46 ºC above the pre-industrial average. and 0.13 ºC higher than the equivalent eleven-month period in 2016, the warmest calendar year recorded so far.
Average sea surface temperature in November 2023 between coordinates 60°S-60°N. was the highest for November. 0.25 °C warmer than the second warmest November 2015.

Except, El Niño phenomenon continued in the equatorial Pacific, with anomalies remaining below those reached at this time of year in the 2015 event.

On a seasonal scale, northern autumn (September-October-November) 2023 warmest recorded worldwidecertainly, since the average temperature was 15.30 °C and was 0.88 °C above average.
The average European temperature from September to November 2023 was 10.96 °C, i.e. 1.43°C above average. This made autumn 2023 the second warmest on record, just 0.03°C colder than autumn 2020.
