Probability of 1 in 300 billion without climate change. What's happening is varying degrees of impossible without the extreme ocean heat content caused by 250 years of industrialisation.

Thwaites is a runaway climate disaster. New studies show how. grist.org/science/thwaites-r…
A single glacier sitting at the bottom of the world may be all that is holding back catastrophic amounts of sea level rise. As it melts away faster than ever, scientists are racing to get a better understanding of when it might fail. Unfortunately, they’ve recently found more bad news.

I remember when 2°C was "decades away". Good times – at Moravany, Česká republika

As of November 6th, the preliminary Niño 1+2 region sea-surface temperature is 5.4°C above the 1991-2020 mean.

Global temperatures have tied their all-time highest value on record at 2.04C above preindustrial levels (measured as a change from the 1850-1900 period) in the Copernicus/ERA5 dataset. The prior record was set back in November 2023.
The world has now experienced seven days above 2C.

20% SWISS GLACIERS VANISHED IN THE PAST 5 YEARS
'In 2022 to 2026, melt rates have been more than twice as high as in any previous 5-year period, resulting in an ice volume loss of almost 20% since 2021'.
This takes enormous heat.

The preliminary global sea-surface temperature for November 4th was more than 7.5 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean. In "normal times" the odds of this would be about 33,000,000,000,000-to-1 against.

OCTOBER RECORD TEMPERATURE INCREASE 1.76°C
Global temperatures this month are set to be around 1.76 degrees Celsius (about 3.17 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels, surpassing the previous record set in 2023, researchers predict. (Scientific American, 30 October. 2026)

Your 'moment of doom' for Nov. 3, 2026 ~ Uncharted alert!
"This Stratospheric Warming event is happening in uncharted territory. It’s the earliest SSW event on record since the late 1950s with the previous record occurring about 2 weeks later in 2009."

La gráfica tiene la temperatura de todos los octubres de los últimos 86 años.
Octubre de 2026 fue el más cálido registrado en la estadística de @CopernicusECMWF. Récord.
+1,75 °C por encima de los niveles preindustriales. Una barbaridad.

On November 1, 2026, the global sea-surface temperature anomaly exceeded 7 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 baseline for the first time, reaching 7.12σ.

We're already all set to leave the 1.5°C world behind (some climate scientists still haven't realised we ever reached it). With global warming accelerating wildly, 40-70% of species are on the very brink..
Earth has never had a month that exceeded +2C above pre-industrial. But that may change by winter. 1/2 of the Super Ensemble members forecast a +2C month - the average says we reached +2C is February. BOM is the highest at +2.33C.
This breach of 2C is due to global warming, with the Super El Niño heat added on top, and yes the change in aerosols/ cloud cover/ sun reflectivity.
The #ElNino will peak in ~December, but peak Global temperature lags El Niño by a couple of months as stored ocean heat is released.
The breach of 2C will be temporary, as El Niño fades the global temp will drop back down… but likely not back to where we were before. It is in this way that El Niño sets a new bar, and another “stepped” increase in global temperature. There’s no sign yet that carbon fueled march upward will stop anytime soon.
