The European Space Agency's Copernicus Climate Change Service recorded high temperatures this November, reaching 0.57 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than last year. The latest temperatures are higher than the last year.

Monitoring the rapid rise of temperatures is important for the environment and humans. Rising temperatures can have devastating impacts on people's health and biodiversity.

In addition, climate change can exacerbate the global temperatures. Increasing heat and dry vegetation will become favorable for raging wildfires and impact crops.

As El Nino begins, it is expected that temperatures will become hotter than usual. High temperatures can also lead to the following:

  • snowmelt
  • sea level rise

November Reaches Record-Breaking Heat

New York City. 2023 record high temperatures exacerbated by climate change. A recent report showed that November reached record-breaking heat for six months straight. Environment-friendly policies and services will also be helpful, especially in areas experiencing prolonged drought and heat. Heatwaves can impact people's lives, especially older adults, outdoor workers and people with medical conditions. Monitoring the rapid rise of temperatures is important for the environment and humans. Rising temperatures can have devastating impacts on people's health and biodiversity. 

November managed to reach a high temperature. The recent report showed that the month had an average of 57.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The reasons are due to the following:

  • Human activities contributed to climate change
  • Rampant burning of coal and gas

The global temperature rise is attributed to the increasing greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, experts raised the importance of mitigating. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will be essential to prevent the intensifying drought and heat.

Environment-friendly policies and services will also be helpful, especially in areas experiencing prolonged drought and heat. Heatwaves can impact people's lives, especially older adults, outdoor workers and people with medical conditions.

Record-breaking heat can also affect marine animals and coral reef systems. Species will likely struggle to survive due to rising temperatures. Hotter surface temperatures can cause the decline of coral reefs.

In recent reports, researchers discovered that 50% of marine snails become more vulnerable to ocean warming in the Strait of Georgia. The findings were published in the Ecology journal.

Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events

NWN recently reported that climate change can exacerbate extreme weather events, including the following:

  • Heat
  • Wildfires
  • Storms
  • Hurricanes
  • Drought.

The frequent shifts in weather can make it challenging for communities to prepare.

Climate change intensifies drought and heat conditions, causing less rainfall and hotter temperatures. The extreme drought can affect crops and animals' habitats.

Drought conditions can also impact the food and water security. The low level of water can reduce communities drinking water and have a devastating economic loss.

In addition, storms can become more frequent and powerful due to climate change. The impact of extreme weather events can be problematic for poorer areas and communities.
