According to the European Union’s (EU) Copernicus satellite monitoring system, the prediction that 2024 will be the “hottest year” on record has been confirmed.
According to a statement from Copernicus, last month was the “second warmest November on record”, with an average surface air temperature of 14.10 degrees.
This was 0.73 degrees above the 1991-2020 average for November.
The year-to-date (January-November 2024) global average temperature anomaly is 0.72 degrees above the 1991-2020 average. This value revealed that 2024 was 0.14 degrees warmer than the same period in 2023.
Thus, the prediction that 2024 will be the hottest year on record has been confirmed.
– Regional values
Temperatures were above average in northern Russia and northeast and southwest Europe, and below average in southeast Europe.
Outside Europe, temperatures were most above average in eastern Canada, the central and eastern US, most of Mexico, Morocco, northwest Africa, China, Pakistan, most of Siberia and Australia.
– Time for urgent action
Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), said that it is almost certain that 2024 will be the hottest year on record, as well as the first year in which the global temperature rise will be above 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Burgess stated that this increase does not yet mean a violation of the Paris Agreement, which stipulates that this increase should stay below 2 degrees as much as possible, “But it means that taking action for the climate is more urgent than ever.”
