The 2023 global warming spike was driven by the El Niรฑoโ€“Southern Oscillation Abstract. Global-mean surface temperature rapidly increased 0.29โ€‰ยฑโ€‰0.04โ€‰K from 2022 to 2023. Such a large interannual global warming spike is not unprecedented in the observational record, with a previous instance occurring in 1976โ€“1977. However, why such large global warming spikes occur is unknown, and the rapid global warming of 2023 has led to concerns that it could have been externally driven. Here we show that climate models that are subject only to internal variability can generate such spikes, but they are an uncommon occurrence (pโ€‰=โ€‰1.6โ€‰%โ€‰ยฑโ€‰0.1โ€‰%). However, when a prolonged La Niรฑa immediately precedes an El Niรฑo in the simulations, as occurred in nature in 1976โ€“1977 and 2022โ€“2023, such spikes become much more common (pโ€‰=โ€‰10.3โ€‰%โ€‰ยฑโ€‰0.4โ€‰%). Furthermore, we find that nearly all simulated spikes (pโ€‰=โ€‰88.5โ€‰%โ€‰ยฑโ€‰0.3โ€‰%) are associated with El Niรฑo occurring that year. Thus, our results underscore the importance of the El Niรฑoโ€“Southern Oscillation in driving the occurrence of global warming spikes such as the one in 2023, without needing to invoke anthropogenic forcing, such as changes in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases or aerosols, as an explanation.

Neat new paper from Priyam Raghuraman et al. that argues a strong El Nino following a persistent La Nina can explain the jump in global temperatures in 2023. acp.copernicus.org/a...

El Niรฑo fingered as likely culprit in record 2023 temperatures Research suggests swings in Pacific Ocean can account for planetโ€™s sudden and perplexing temperature jump

My latest: The spike in 2023 temperatures has loomed as a pressing mystery in #climate science. But new work suggests that it could have been El Niรฑo after all.
