December 7, 2021 – The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts on behalf of the European Commission with funding from the EU, routinely publishes monthly climate bulletins reporting on the changes observed in global surface air temperature, sea ice cover and hydrological variables. All the reported findings are based on computer-generated analyses using billions of measurements from satellites, ships, aircraft and weather stations around the world.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service has been closely monitoring a summer of extreme wildfires across the Northern Hemisphere, including intense hotspots around the Mediterranean basin and in North America and Siberia. The intense fires led to new records in the CAMS dataset with the months of July and August seeing their highest global carbon emissions respectively.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service reports that regions in eastern Russia, particularly Sakha Republic in the Far Eastern Federal District, are heavily affected by wildfires, showing intense fire activity comparable to previous years in that area. Meanwhile, devastating fires are flaring in British Columbia, emitting smoke into the atmosphere. The...
