In its own words, the service put the month's global average at 16.27 degrees Celsius, above the pre-industrial baseline by 1.63 degrees and the second month in a row above 1.5 degrees. Seas outside the polar regions also set a September record, while parts of Europe stayed dry with very low river flows and Antarctic sea ice reached its third-lowest winter maximum in the satellite record.

The US agency's monthly round-up ranked September 2026 second only to 2023, with the global ocean surface setting an all-time monthly record for a fourth straight month. It also noted below-average sea ice at both poles, a busy Eastern North Pacific hurricane season, and a year-to-date ranking that points to 2026 finishing among the five warmest years.

global temperature · 2026-10-22
The independent temperature analysis placed September just behind 2023, put ocean warmth at a clear September record, and counted 53 countries with national September records. It also raised its estimate that 2026 will end as the warmest year on record to about 96 percent, driven by a very strong El Nino whose peak was still expected later in the year.

renewable energy · 2026-10-27
Drawing on the energy agency's monthly data through August 2026, the report found renewable generation up about a tenth year on year and supplying just over 28 percent of US electricity, with wind and solar together near 21 percent. It also projected that total renewable capacity, including small-scale solar, could overtake natural gas capacity by around summer 2027.

Citing the Pakistan Meteorological Department's seasonal review, the report described a July-to-September mean temperature above the previous record, rainfall about a fifth short of normal, and around 199 deaths linked to rain and flood incidents. It stressed the uneven pattern: an overall shortfall alongside isolated cloudbursts and flash floods, with risks for water supplies and both Kharif and Rabi crops.

food security · 2026-10-17
Reporting on a new Action Against Hunger study released around World Food Day, the article said about 10.6 million people in Pakistan were expected to need humanitarian help in 2026. It linked the pressure to poverty and food prices as well as repeated floods, droughts, heatwaves, glacial lake outburst floods, and erratic monsoon rain that have damaged harvests and weakened livestock livelihoods.

Pakistan climate · 2026-10-07
The meteorological department's October forecast pointed to near- or above-normal rain in the north and below-normal rain in parts of the south, with temperatures above normal across much of the country. The same outlook warned that warm, humid conditions could raise dengue risk in central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and north-western Punjab, while dry heat could worsen smog over the plains.

An opinion piece argued that the test for the Antalya talks is not the size of finance announcements but whether money reaches developing countries, cuts emissions, and benefits communities without undermining their future climate targets. It pointed to results-based payments, pre-purchase deals, and international transfers, while warning that credits must be verified and additional to be credible.
