September sizzled to records and was so much warmer than average scientists call it 'mind-blowing'

This is the best summary I could come up with:

After a summer of record-smashing heat, warming somehow got even worse in September as Earth set a new mark for how far above normal temperatures were, the European climate agency reported Thursday.

That’s the warmest margin above average for a month in 83 years of records kept by the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.

While July and August had hotter raw temperatures because they are warmer months on the calendar, September had what scientists call the biggest anomaly, or departure from normal.

“This is not a fancy weather statistic,” Imperial College of London climate scientist Friederike Otto said in an email.

The global threshold goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius is for long-term temperature averages, not a single month or year.

“What we’re seeing right now is the backdrop of rapid global warming at a pace that the Earth has not seen in eons coupled with El Nino, natural climate cycle” that’s a temporary warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather worldwide, said U.S. climate scientist Jessica Moerman, who is also president of the Evangelical Environmental Network.

I feel like scientists are like the boy that called wolf at this point with the number of warnings they give.
Except there’s always a wolf.
In Germany it absolutely was the case. 30 degrees for a long time and only just last week we saw more mild climate.
- It's still t-shirt weather in fucking October
I'm in the UK. When I was young it would be around 10 degrees now, 15 tops. The forecast for tomorrow is 24 degrees
