EU monitor says global temperatures were 1.75C above preindustrial levels, extending run of unprecedented highs
Climate scientists had expected this exceptional spell to subside after a warming El Niño event peaked in January 2024 and conditions shifted to an opposing, cooling La Niña phase. But the heat has lingered at record or near-record levels, prompting debate about what other factors could be driving it to the top end of expectations.
I imagine most places will have an average temperature +2C above average this year, with the global average hitting it in 2028.
Yeah, that seems reasonable and about what I would predict given how things are progressing ATM!
