Yes, the summer of 2023 was the hottest summer on record worldwide (no ifs and buts)

 This past boreal summer (2023) was the hottest on record worldwide, registering an average temperature of 16.77°C which was 0.66°C higher than the average. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said "we have entered the era of boiling" and measurements from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) analysis of data coming from satellites, ships, planes and weather stations around the world confirmed it. The significantly higher-than-average July fully solidified the notion that climate change is undeniably real, undermining any studies that suggested otherwise.

Yet the data speak for themselves, here they are:

The data for June, July and August 2023 

the June-July-August season of 2023 was by far the warmest ever recorded globally, with an average temperature of 16.77°C, 0.66°C above average

the average European temperature for the summer was 19.63°C, which, at 0.83°C above average, was the fifth warmest for the summer season

2023 witnessed record-breaking sea surface temperature anomalies in the North Atlantic and global ocean.

Summer 2023 witnessed marine heat waves in several parts of Europe, including Ireland and the United Kingdom in June and the Mediterranean in July and August

the June/July/August 2023 period saw above-average rainfall in North, West, and Northeast America, parts of Asia, Chile, and Brazil, northwestern Australia, and much of Western Europe and Turkey, with local rainfall records resulting in flooding in some cases

in contrast, Iceland, the Alpine arc, northern Scandinavia, central Europe, much of Asia, Canada, southern North America, and most of South America experienced drier-than-average conditions. In some regions, these dry conditions even led to significant forest fires.

The surface air temperature for August 2023

the month of August 2023 was the warmest globally and warmer than all other months except only July 2023

the global average surface air temperature of 16.82°C recorded in August 2023 was 0.71°C warmer than the average for the period from 1991 to 2020 for the month of August and 0.31°C warmer than the previous warmest August in the year 2016.

August 2023 is estimated to have been about 1.5°C warmer than the pre-industrial average for the period between 1850 and 1900

heat waves were recorded in several regions of the Northern Hemisphere, including southern Europe, the southern United States, and Japan

well above-average temperatures were recorded in Australia, several South American countries, and much of Antarctica

marine air temperatures have been well above average in several regions

the global temperature anomaly for the first 8 months of 2023 (January-August) is the second warmest on record, only 0.01°C below the year 2016, currently the warmest year on record

August 2023 sea ice:

• Antarctic sea ice extent remained at a record low for one time of the year, with a monthly value 12 percent below average, by far the largest negative anomaly for August since satellite observations began
• sea ice concentrations were most below average in the northern Ross Sea and the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean sectors, while above-average concentrations prevailed in the Bellingshausen-Amundsen Sea sector
• Arctic sea ice extent was well below average compared to July's extent, at 10 percent below average, but remaining above the record low of August 2012
• while most of the central Arctic Ocean saw below-average sea ice concentrations, an area of above-average concentrations persisted north of the Kara Sea and Laptev Sea

Numbers, geographic data that only confirm the existence of the ongoing climate crisis, in spite of what u deniers are scrambling to claim: they must be prevented by all means from dragging climate politics inside real cultural battles, between dangerous misinformation and a few noisy Sunday scientists.
