THE August 2025 recorded a history of high temperatures record, conquering the position of Third warmer month ever observed worldwide. According to the latest data announced by the European Observatory Climate Change Copernicusthe West of Europe and several regions of Asia have been affected by extensive heat, confirming the climate uncertainty it has characterized in recent years.

As Copernicus’s announcement points out, *”August 2025 was the third warmest August in the world” *. The average temperature on the surface of the Earth and the oceans was found by 1.29 degrees Celsius higher compared to its levels pre-industrial period (1850-1900). It is recalled that the warmest August recorded are those of 2023 and 2024 respectively.

The European Copernicus Office publishes detailed data on global temperatures each month, utilizing satellite measurements, ground observations and modern climate models. The service database has been extending over the last 85 years, providing valuable evidence for understanding climate change.

Historically high temperatures in Europe

During this year’s summer season, national meteorological services – from China to Japan and Portugal – stressed that the last days of the summer of 2025 were marked by a record of temperatures.

OR “Southwest Europe lived the third important wave of summer heat, with concomitant catastrophic fires”Samantha Berges of the European Climate Center typically said. At the same time, he continued, *”the ever -increased ocean temperatures and the frequency of extreme weather events highlight both the urgent need to reduce emissions and the adaptation to a new, more unstable climate environment” *.

In August, Western Europe reported temperatures above average, with the Iberian peninsula and southwestern France being particularly affected by successive waves of heat.

Significant record and impact

OR Spain It faced an unprecedented 16 -day thermal wave, resulting in more than 1,100 deaths, according to the Carlos III Institute. To FranceOn August 11, they were historically high in urban centers such as Bordeaux (41.6 ° C), Bergerak (42.1 ° C) and Angulm (42.3 ° C), according to the French National Weather Service.

Outside Europe, particularly high temperatures were recorded in northern Siberia, parts of Antarctica, China, the Korean Peninsula, Japan and the Middle East, according to Copernicus.

In the northern hemisphere, between June to August, the highest temperature increase occurred, with the most intense anomalies observed in Asia.

It is noted that the warmest month measured worldwide remains July 2023, while the coldest was January 1940, according to Copernicus records.
