Recent September was the hottest ever on record globally, according to data collected by the European scientific collaboration Copernicus. Last month it was 0.63 ° C warmer than average and surpassed the previous record by 0.05 ° C, recorded in September 2019. Averages are calculated by Copernicus based on data collected between 1981 and 2010.

Polls say it was the hottest September in Europe. In addition, several other areas of the world, such as northern Siberia, Western Australia, the Middle East, and parts of South America, significantly above-average temperatures have been recorded.

In a few days, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will also release its data, generally in line with the findings made by Copernicus. NOAA predicts with a 99.9 percent probability that 2020 will turn out to be one of the five hottest years ever recorded.
