Heat records have been shattered from California to Florida this summer. And, yes, it is summer and summer is hot. <\/p>\n

If 2023 already feels like one for the record books, 2024 won\u2019t bring any relief, NASA scientists said this week.<\/p>\n

\n

Unprecedented heat has cooked the U.S. Southwest to dangerous levels, stressed air-conditioning reliability and prompted water conservation in parts of Texas and elsewhere. In Arizona, the mercury at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport again reached 110 Fahrenheit (43.3 Celsius) on July 18, breaking the previous record of 18 consecutive days at or above that temperature, set in 1974.<\/p>\n

The story doesn\u2019t stop there. Extreme temps have hit Europe, handing Greece its longest string of extreme-heat days on record. And if these conditions aren\u2019t tough enough, extreme heat has been joined by\u00a0dramatic floods in the U.S. Northeast, India, Japan and China.<\/p>\n

Man-made climate change \u2014 caused by the greenhouse gas emissions put off by burning coal, oil

\n and gas and blamed for accelerating historical climates shifts \u2014 has been warming the Earth\u2019s temperature. And now there\u2019s another factor at work, NASA-based researchers and scientists from around the globe stress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

El Ni\u00f1o, the somewhat regular pattern in the tropical Pacific that brings warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures and influences weather, has only just started in recent months. That means its full impact has yet to be felt, said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, talking to reporters this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts really only just emerged, and so what we\u2019re seeing [with this summer\u2019s extremes] is not really due to that El Ni\u00f1o,\u201d Schmidt said.<\/p>\n

For nearly all of July, the world has been in\u00a0uncharted hot territory,\u00a0according to the University of Maine\u2019s Climate Reanalyzer. And June was also the\u00a0hottest June on record, according to several weather agencies. <\/p>\n

Just a week ago, over 110 million people, or about a third of Americans, were under extreme heat advisories.<\/p>\n

Even just past the halfway point, scientists say there is a strong chance that 2023 will go down as the hottest year on record, with measurements going back to the middle of the 19th century.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing is the overall warmth pretty much everywhere \u2014 particularly in the oceans,\u201d NASA\u2019s Schmidt said. \u201cThe reason why we think that\u2019s going to continue is because we continue to put greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Until we stop doing that, temperatures will keep on rising.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate that 2024 is going to be an even warmer year because we\u2019re going to be starting off with that El Ni\u00f1o event,\u201d Schmidt said. \u201cThat will peak towards the end of this year, and how big that is is going to have a big impact on the following year\u2019s statistics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heat has also meant that\u00a0North Atlantic Ocean temperatures have soared this summer. Roughly 40% of the world\u2019s oceans are experiencing marine heat waves, the most since satellite tracking started in 1991, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe oceans are running a fever,\u201d said Carlos Del Castillo, chief of NASA\u2019s Ocean Ecology Laboratory. \u201cThis issue with ocean temperature is not a problem that stays in the ocean \u2013 it affects everything else.\u201d <\/p>\n

For instance, warmer oceans put key food ecosystems at risk and melt glaciers that raise the water level and lead to coastal flooding. What\u2019s more, hurricanes tend to suck up greater amounts of water when that ocean water is warmer, leading to stronger flooding as the storm moves inland.<\/p>\n

Some scientists have their eye on the bigger picture.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a more than 60% chance that the Earth\u2019s temperature will bump up against the warming level that has shaped global climate policy \u2014 1.5 degrees Celsius, or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit \u2014 within the next five years, the United Nations weather organization said earlier this year.<\/p>\n

A flirtation with that increase in average temperature would likely be fleeting, driven by a temporary blast of heat\u00a0from El Ni\u00f1o, the cyclical, naturally occurring weather phenomenon.<\/p>\n

But the development is still one to watch, scientists say, because an increase in man-made global warming means that when El Ni\u00f1o layers on its temperature boost, the dangerous implications of potentially extreme heat on\u00a0human health, agriculture,\u00a0ocean bounty\u00a0and more are made worse.<\/p>\n
