2025 Fall Package

August 2025 was the third warmest August globally on record, with all ten warmest Augusts occurring since 2015. In the United States, 98% of analyzed cities have experienced fall warming, and as of September 9, at least 60% of the country faces abnormally dry or drought conditions. A record-breaking marine heatwave in the North Pacific Ocean, attributed to climate change, is expected to persist into October.

• August 2025 was the 3rd warmest August globally on record, following 2023 and 2024, and all ten warmest Augusts on record have occurred since 2015.
• In the United States, fall has warmed in 237 cities (98% of those analyzed), and as of September 9, at least 60% of the U.S. is experiencing drought or abnormally dry conditions.
• A major marine heatwave in the North Pacific Ocean reached new record high sea surface temperatures in August, an event the Climate Shift Index: Ocean suggests climate change made 50-200x more likely.
