☆ UN Agency Confirms 119.8 Degrees Reading in Sicily Two Years Ago as Europe's Record High Temperature

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N.'s weather agency on Tuesday confirmed a reading of 48.8 degrees Celsius (119.8 degrees Fahrenheit) in Sicily two years ago as the hottest temperature ever recorded in Europe. The figure blew past the previous European record of 48 C that was recorded in the Greek cities of Athens and Elefsina in July 1977. The Sicily record from 2021 was based on weather observations and first published in the International Journal of Climatology. Randall Cerveny, who reports on climate and weather extremes for the World Meteorological Organization, says the confirmation followed a lengthy investigation that required “meticulous care” by the agency.

☆ Scientists Explain Why the Record-Shattering 2023 Heat Has Them on Edge. Warming May Be Worsening

The latest calculations from several science agencies showing Earth obliterated global heat records last year may seem scary. Former NASA climate scientist James Hansen, often considered the godfather of global warming science, theorized last year that warming was accelerating. That’s 0.27 degrees (0.15 degrees Celsius) warmer than the previous record set in 2016 and 2.43 degrees (1.35 degrees Celsius) warmer than pre-industrial temperatures. NASA and the United Kingdom Meteorological Office had the warming since the mid-19th century a bit higher at 2.5 degrees (1.39 degrees Celsius) and 2.63 degrees (1.46 degrees Celsius) respectively. It’s the third time in the last eight years that a global heat record was set.
