Climate change, September 2022 the fourth hottest ever recorded. Abnormal weather in Greenland

Although the past month was colder than average in Europe, globally it was

, with temperatures nearly 0.3 degrees above normal.

The most critical situation in Greenland, where some locations have exceeded the monthly average by more than 8 degrees, reaching the highest temperatures ever recorded for this time of year.

Yet another alarm on

is launched by the latest Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) bulletin

the European Center for Medium-Term Weather Forecasts on behalf of the European Commission, funded by the EU.

The reported results are based on computer-generated analyzes that used billions of measurements from satellites, ships, planes and weather stations around the world.

The resulting map is striking for the

that indicates the thermal anomaly that affected

as far as Russia: according to the surveys, in September the average European temperature was about 0.4 degrees lower than the average temperature recorded in the period between 1991 and 2020. Not only rising temperatures, but also negative peaks of cold, a proves that climate change is not synonymous with overheating but, in general, with thermal anomalies.
