    Below are key excerpts from a global climate report for October published online earlier this month by a unit of NOAA, the US meteorological agency.

    the data show global surface temperatures continue to trend higher.

    NOAA:

    “The global surface temperature for October 2021 was 0.89°C (1.60°F) above the 20th century average of 14.0°C (57.2°F) — the fourth highest October temperature in the 142-year record. Only Octobers of 2015, 2018, and 2019 had a warmer October. The 10 warmest Octobers have occurred since 2003.

    “October 2021 also marked the 45th consecutive October and the 442nd consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th-century average.”

    “Overall, this encompassed about 8.24% of the world's surface with record warm October temperature — the second highest October percentage since records began in 1951. Only October of 2015 had a higher percentage at 19.43%

    “The unusually warm temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere land resulted in the warmest October on record for the Northern Hemisphere land, surpassing the previous record set in 2019 by 0.11°C (0.20°F). The 10 warmest Octobers for the Northern Hemisphere have occurred since 2003.

    “Meanwhile, cooler-than-average conditions were present across parts of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, consistent with La Niña conditions, as well as parts of the Northern Pacific Ocean, western North America, Greenland, and across parts of Asia, southern Africa, and western Australia. However, no land or ocean areas had a record cold October.”
