        "content": "<p>Brussels (ANTARA) - August 2ng 2026 became the hottest month ever\nrecorded globally, according to the European Union\u2019s Copernicus Climate\nChange Service on Thursday (10\/9).<\/p>\n<p>Global average surface air temperatures reached 16.96 degrees\nCelsius, slightly above the previous record of approximately 16.95\ndegrees Celsius recorded in July 2023. This figure is 0.85 degrees\nCelsius higher than the average August temperature during the 1991-2020\nperiod and 1.65 degrees Celsius higher than the estimated pre-industrial\ntemperatures from the 1850-1900 period.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the first month since November 2025 in which global\nmonthly average temperatures have exceeded pre-industrial levels by more\nthan 1.5 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n<p>Western Europe also experienced its warmest summer in recorded\nhistory. A series of heatwaves that arrived much earlier, lasted longer,\nand were more intense since May have pushed average temperatures for the\nJune-August period beyond the previous record set in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Ocean temperatures also reached record highs. Average sea surface\ntemperatures across the extrapolar oceans between 60 degrees south\nlatitude and 60 degrees north latitude reached 21.07 degrees Celsius in\nAugust, making it the highest temperature ever recorded for that\nmonth.<\/p>\n<p>Sea surface temperatures remained very high in most parts of the\ntropical Pacific, where El Ni\u00f1o conditions are strengthening and\npotentially developing into one of the strongest phenomena in history in\nthe coming months.<\/p>\n<p>These records demonstrate that climate change is triggering extreme\nphenomena in both the atmosphere and the oceans, with increasing impacts\non societies, economies, and ecosystems worldwide, said Samantha\nBurgess, strategic climate lead at the European Centre for Medium-Range\nWeather Forecasts.<\/p>",
