We're now at 17 months in a row for setting a new record high for the 36-month running average for global (60S-60N) Total Column Precipitable Water.
In other words, the atmosphere is now holding more water vapor than ever before in recorded history.

It appears that 2024 will retain its record for warmest day globally (with 2023 coming in 2nd), while 2026 establishes a new record for warmest oceans from 60N-60S: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu

It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. More… 1/

🔥🔥🔥A record warm October for the Arctic (60N to 90N) AND a record warm October for the Antarctic (60S to 90S). This is a disaster. 🔥🔥🔥

About half of the world's human population lives in the Northern mid-latitudes (30N - 60N). That region also set a new record high for total column precipitable water (36-month running mean) in February, 2026.

CANADA HEAT WAVE
Intense heat spreads North and East to Alberta and Northwest Territories with temperatures >33/34C north of 60N latitude.
This will just get worse with an early autumn heat wave which will rewrite climatic history by breaking multiple WORLD RECORDS.
Stay tuned

Surely unprecedented early winter mildness in parts of Northern #Europe take Bergen on west coast of Norway at relatively high latitude of 60N.
Never has the city gone so far into December without a subfreezing temperature and there’s no sign until this Sunday 3 weeks into December. Madness.

2024 STILL maintains title of warmest day on record for both quantities. I'm anticipating that the 2024 global surface temperature record of 17.6C will hold while the 60S-60N average sea surface temperature record (21.09C) will fall.

Weird weather. I am at almost 60N and comfortably strolling the streets of the Old Town.
Glad we are getting rain at home, but glad I on vacation up here.

For the combined area poleward of 60N, this was the warmest June on record - despite the fact that a portion of the area north of Alaska had its coldest June on record (since 1940). @alaskawx.bsky.social
