October 2022 was Earth\u2019s fourth-warmest October since record-keeping began in 1880, NOAA\u2019s\u00a0National Centers for Environmental Information<\/a>\u00a0(NCEI) reported November 15.\u00a0NASA<\/a>\u00a0rated October as the fifth-warmest on record, behind 2016, 1.23 degrees Celsius (2.21\u00b0F) above the 1880-1920 period \u2013 its best estimate for when preindustrial temperatures last occurred. The European\u00a0Copernicus Climate Change Service<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Japan Meteorological Agency<\/a>\u00a0rated October 2022 as the third-warmest October on record. Such minor differences in the agencies\u2019 rankings can result from the different ways they treat data-sparse regions such as the Arctic.<\/p>\n

Land areas had their second-warmest October on record in 2022, land areas in the Northern Hemisphere had their warmest October on record, and global ocean temperatures were the fifth-warmest on record, according to NOAA. Europe had its warmest October on record; Africa, its third-warmest; and Asia and North America, their sixth-warmest. Oceania and South America each had a warmer-than-average October, but the month did not rank among their top 10 warmest on record.<\/p>\n

The year-to-date global surface temperature is the sixth-highest on record, and 2022 is 99% likely to end up as the sixth-warmest year on record, according to\u00a0NOAA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parts of western and central Europe, western North America, and Africa experienced record-high October temperatures. No areas experienced record cold.
