El Niño strengthening into unseen territory. The Niño3.4 region just reached a +3.0 °C anomaly (relative to the 1991–2020). Such a warmth has never been observed in September, and it's only a few hundredths of a degree away from the 2015 all-time record.
Nino3.4 temperature anomaly in different years. The values in 2026 are above the previous years' temperatures and close to 2015 all-time record.

Dear WMO, The planet has already passed the Paris limit of 1.5°C (2.7°F) above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, and is well on its way to 2.0°C (3.6°F) by 2037. You’re welcome.

Aiempaa harvempi vieraskielinen saa toimeentulotukea tai työttömyysturvaa. Samalla vieraskielisen väestön määrä on kasvanut, ja siksi vieraskielisiä on myös etuuksien saajissa enemmän. Tarkemmin Kelan tietotarjottimella. tietotarjotin.fi/uutinen/1435...
Viivakaavio: Perustoimeentulotukea, työmarkkinatukea ja yleistä asumistukea saaneiden osuus vieraskielisestä 18 vuotta täyttäneestä väestöstä etuuksittain 2017–2025. Kuvasta näkee, että aiempaa pienempi osuus vieraskielisistä saa toimeentulotukea, työmarkkinatukea ja asumistukea.

In case you missed it ... 2026 set the record for the most days with the global surface temperature above 17.0°C since 1940, and likely the most days above 17.0°C in any single year over the last 120,000 years.

2003 was once exceptional. Now it's average. 2024's record will be average by the mid-2040s. The extreme summers of the 2040s don't bear thinking about! 🌡🥵😬 #ClimateEmergency After @edhawkins.org & @stottpeter.bsky.social using ERA5 + CMIP6.
European summer temperature, June to August, over 10°W-40°E, 30-50°N, the region Stott et al. used for the 2003 heatwave, relative to 1961-1990. The black line shows ERA5 observations from 1950 to 2025, rising from about zero in the mid-twentieth century to 2.75°C in 2024. Grey shading is the 5-95% range of 34 CMIP6 models over the historical period, blue shading the same models under SSP2-4.5 to 2100, with the running median in white. Two dotted lines mark the 2003 summer at 2.06°C and the 2024 summer at 2.75°C, each dropping to the year the model median reaches that level: 2027 and 2045. Model region approximated by the IPCC AR6 Mediterranean and West & Central Europe regions, weighted 0.75 to 0.25.

Climate is a pattern, and the pattern has changed. = Climate Change
Graphic reading, “The difference between ‘There used to be hot summers too.’ and climate crisis.” Below is a temperature-anomaly chart showing mostly blue, cooler-than-average years in the earlier record, shifting dramatically toward sustained red, warmer-than-average years in recent decades. Occasional earlier red bars are labelled “These were hot summers,” while the sustained cluster of increasingly warm recent years is labelled “This is climate change.”
