First nine months of 2015 shatter heat records: US

The first nine months of this year have been record-breaking for heat worldwide, in another sign that dangerous global warming continues to mount, US government scientists said today.


Last month marked the "highest September temperature in the 1880-2015 record, surpassing the previous record set last year by 0.19 Fahrenheit (0.12 Celsius)," said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).


"The first nine months of the year (January-September) were also record warm."


The latest report brings 2015 closer than ever to ousting 2014 for the most scorching year in modern times.


The calculation is made by averaging temperature across global land and ocean surfaces.


Scientists found that September was 1.62 Fahrenheit (0.90 Celsius) above the 20th century average.


"September's high temperature was also the greatest rise above average for any month in the 136-year historical record, surpassing the previous record set in both February and March this year by 0.02F (0.01C)," NOAA said in its monthly report
