"Last month was also the first month since November 2025 to register more than 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average, reaching 1.65 degrees Celsius.
The 1.5-degree Celsius, 2.7-degree Fahrenheit, warming limit was established in the 2015 Paris Agreement and is a threshold climate scientists view as critical for avoiding the worst impacts of human-amplified climate change.
"Combined with record global sea surface temperatures and the warmest summer on record for Western Europe, these observations show how climate change is driving extremes across both the atmosphere and the oceans," Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, said in a statement.
"The impacts of these conditions are increasingly being felt by communities, economies and ecosystems across the world," she added."
