        "summary": "May 2026 was the second-hottest May on record globally, with an average surface air temperature of 15.81\u00b0C, according to the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. Western Europe experienced an intense early heatwave, with several countries shattering local temperature records. Scientists warn the combination of sustained warming, high sea temperatures, and an emerging El Ni\u00f1o pattern could make extreme climate events the new normal.",
        "content": "<p>May 2026 was recorded as the second-hottest May in history, with\nWestern Europe experiencing a heatwave that arrived earlier than usual,\naccording to the European Union\u2019s climate monitoring service on\nWednesday (10\/6).<\/p>\n<p>The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) stated that the global\naverage surface air temperature in May 2026 reached 15.81 degrees\nCelsius, or 0.55 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average. That\nfigure ranks second only to May 2024 and is 1.42 degrees Celsius above\nestimated pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n<p>The average sea surface temperature between 60 degrees south latitude\nand 60 degrees north latitude hit 20.90 degrees Celsius, the\nsecond-highest record for May, as the tropical Pacific continues its\ntransition towards El Ni\u00f1o conditions, which are predicted to develop in\nthe coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Western Europe was struck by an intense, early-arriving heatwave in\nthe second half of May, with France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain,\nand Portugal breaking numerous local temperature records. In some areas,\nthe feels-like temperature reached 35 to 40 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n<p>\"In Europe, the intense and early heatwave proves how quickly extreme\nclimate phenomena are turning into a new normal, no longer an\nexception,\" said Samantha Burgess, Climate Strategy Lead at the European\nCentre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.<\/p>\n<p>C3S noted that the sustained warming trend, combined with\npersistently high ocean temperatures and the emergence of El Ni\u00f1o\nconditions, highlights the increased risk of more frequent and intense\nextreme climate phenomena worldwide.<\/p>",
