November was nearly a third of a degree Celsius hotter than the previous hottest November, the European Space Agency's Copernicus Climate Change Service announced early Wednesday. November was 1.75 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial times, tying October and behind September, for the hottest above average for any month, the scientists said. "Scientists are running out of adjectives to describe this.’’ November averaged 14.22 degrees Celsius, which is 0.85 degrees Celsius warmer than the average the last 30 years. So far this year is 1.46 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial times, about a seventh of a degree warmer than the previous warmest year of 2016, Copernicus scientists calculated.
