2023 is expected to become the hottest year in history

The global average temperature on Friday was more than two degrees Celsius hotter than pre-industrial levels for the first time on record, Europe's Copernicus climate monitor said Monday, adding Saturday likely continued the unprecedented warming streak.
Months of extraordinary heat are expected to make 2023 the hottest year in history, with droughts, massive wildfires and fierce storms ravaging swathes of the planet.
According to new data, global temperatures on 17 November were 2.07C above the pre-industrial average, the EU's Climate Change Service or C3S.
"This was the first day when global temperature was more than 2C above 1850-1900 levels," Samantha Burgess, C3S deputy head on X, said.
Preliminary data suggests the record continued into Saturday, with temperatures around 2.06C above the preindustrial average, Copernicus said on X.
