Last month was the hottest September on record by an "extraordinary" margin as the world comes closer to breaching a key warming limit, the EU climate monitor has said.

Much of the world experienced unseasonably warm weather in September, in a year expected to be the hottest in human history and after the warmest-ever global temperatures during the Northern Hemisphere's summer.

September's average surface air temperature of 16.38C was 0.93C above the 1991-2020 average for the month and 0.5C above the previous 2020 record,the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said in a report.
