Since they began to obtain records in 1880, November 2017 has been the fifth warmest, according to NOAA. Behind it there are 394 months in which the global average temperature has been 0.75 degrees Celsius higher than the average, which is 12.9ºC.
How has the climate behaved during that month in the world? Let's see.

As we can see in the image, the thermal behavior of the planet has not been the same in all regions. The colder anomalies were recorded across much of Canada, central Asia, and the eastern and central tropical Pacific Ocean, while warm temperatures in much of the United States, western Canada, northern and western Alaska, western Asia, and eastern Russia.
And the worst is that the warming trend continues. The last month where a value below the average was registered was in December 1984. At that time the temperature was -0.09ºC with respect to the average of that century.

What weather events have happened this November 2017? The following:
- North America: It was the 30th warmest month of November.
- South America: It has been the 10th warmest month of November, since 1910.
- Arctic: 11.6% has disappeared, taking as reference period 1981-2010, an event that can be contrasted with the record low sea ice in Antarctica.
- Europe: it has rained 50% less, especially in Portugal. It has been the warmest November in Austria since 2007.
- Africa: It has been the 19th warmest November since 1910.
- Asia: Despite below normal temperatures, it has had the 106th warmest November in XNUMX years.
- Australia: It was the 18th warmest November in 108 years.
- New Zealand- In many regions, it has been the driest November since 1897.

Furthermore, it is important to mention that the global warming has profound effects on the climate, including the frequency and severity of heat waves. extreme temperatures are becoming more common, as has been seen in several recent events around the world. This is a clear example of how the origin of global warming impacts our environmental conditions.
Furthermore, the forest fires They are also increasing in danger and duration due to the overall warming of the planet, a phenomenon that requires attention and appropriate measures to mitigate its effects. This is particularly evident in vulnerable regions that are experiencing drastic changes in their climate, as observed in the antartida.
The state of the Arctic region Sea ice is a key indicator of climate change, and the loss of sea ice is an alarming symptom of this crisis. As time progresses, we are likely to see drastic changes in the environment that will affect not only wildlife but also the human communities that depend on these ecosystems. The relationship between global warming and sea ice is critical to understanding the impacts to come.
