World breaches key 1.5C warming mark for record number of days

The BBC finds that there have been a record number of days in 2023 that breached the 1.5C temperature limit.

At what point does that officially become "the new whatever the hell this is"? 50%? 51%? 60%? On our news last night "Scotland has 1 month's rain in 24 hrs", the new rain gauge, if it ain't 1:24, it barely counts any more.
