Its focus is on publicly available observational datasets, and not on the output of numerical models, although there are a few exceptions, such as Figure 42. References and data sources are listed at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The observational data presented here reveal a vast number of natural variations, some of which appear in more than one series. The existence of such natural climatic variations is not always fully acknowledged, and therefore generally not considered in contemporary climate conversations. The drivers of most of these climatic variations are not yet fully understood, but should represent an important focus for climatic research in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this report, meteorological and climatic observations are described according to the following overall structure: atmosphere, oceans, sea level, sea ice, snow cover, precipitation, and storms. Finally, in the last section (below), the observational evidence as at 2023 is briefly summarised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ten facts about the year 2023<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.
