September 2021: Hottest Month on Record Globally
TL;DR
September 2021 broke the record for the hottest global temperature, surpassing the previous record by 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Climate scientists attribute this extreme heat to human-driven climate change and the El Niño phenomenon. The world is experiencing higher temperatures than during the previous major El Niño in 2015-2016, leading to extreme weather events such as the recent floods in Libya. The effects of El Niño are expected to continue, potentially making 2024 even hotter.
