Copernicus: August 2026 breaks temperature record

The European Copernicus Climate Change Service announced that August 2026 has become the hottest month on record, with a global surface temperature average of 16.96°C, surpassing the previous record set in July 2023 and also exceeding pre-industrial levels by 1.65°C. August 2026 was also the first month since November 2025 to have an average temperature more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. It saw early and prolonged heatwaves across Western Europe, and a record high in ocean temperatures, with an average sea surface temperature of 21.07°C outside the polar regions—the highest ever recorded for this month. Experts pointed out that these figures confirm that climate change significantly contributes to extreme weather events and impacts communities and ecosystems worldwide.
