With the constant onslaught of heat records, I feel like we've become a bit numb to just how ridiculous it is that this year will be a top 10 hottest year during a La Nina year. This year will easily be hotter than the mega El Nino year of 1998!
This past August was the sixth-hottest on record for the globe. It's very likely that the year will wind up among the 10 hottest years on record even though 2021 started off and could end with a La Niña, which cools global temperatures.

In addition to marking the end to the hottest summer on record (tied-1936), this past August was also wetter than average for the contiguous United States, even though the West continued to be quite dry.
