The impact of warming was also very evident in India, where the average monthly temperatures were 0.94 ℃ above the long -term average, with the third most warmer since 1901, after 1958 and 1990

Global temperatures continue to increase despite the impact of cooling of the girl, establishing a new record for the warmest January of history. The surface air temperatures are located in 1.75 degrees Celsius above the pre -industrial levels, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service supported by the European Union.
The latest data confirms the continuous heating trend of the last decade, which continued with 2024 ending as the The warmest registered year worldwide. It was also the first calendar year when the average global temperatures exceeded 1.5 ℃ above pre -industrial levels, with record heat waves that sweep many countries during the summer.
Samantha Burges, strategic leader for the climate in the European Center for Medium Range Climate Forecasts (ECMWF), said that record temperatures in January were “surprising” despite the development of the girl’s conditions in the tropical Pacific and her Temporary cooling effect on global temperatures.
The scientists also highlighted how heat decreased the beginning of the girl. Although the temperatures of the sea surface were below the average over the central equatorial Pacific, they were close or above the average over the Eastern Ecuadorial Pacific. Meanwhile, sea surface temperatures remained unusually high in many other ocean basins, they said.
“We will monitor the ocean temperatures closely and its influence on our evolution climate over 2025,” Burgess said.

The impact of heating was also very evident in India, where the average monthly temperatures were 0.94 ℃ above the long -term average, with the third most warm January since 1901, after 1958 and 1990. The nights were warmer than the usual with an increase of almost 1.04 ℃.
“From 2020, every year they have registered the minimum temperatures above India,” said Dr. Mrityunjay Mohapatra, head of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) by sharing a prognosis for a prognosis for a forecast Even warmer February.
“The weak conditions of the girl prevail over the Pacific region, and it is expected that it persists from February to April and the transition to neutral for May, which is when India sees its summer season,” he said.
Heating, meanwhile, was also exceptional in the seas. Arctic sea ice reached its lowest monthly extension for January and stood at 6 percent below average. While the extension of Antarctic sea ice was 5 percent below the average and, therefore, relatively close to the average compared to last years.

“The history of the weather is developing before our eyes. We have not had only one or two record years, but a complete series of 10 years. This has been accompanied by a devastating and extreme climate, the increase in sea level and melted ice, all driven by levels of record greenhouse gases due to human activities, “said the general secretary of the OMM Celeste Saulo.
