Global Temperatures Poised to Shatter Records in Next Five Years - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency

  • The World Meteorological Organization projects an 80% probability that one or more years from 2025 to 2029 will surpass 2024’s record-high global temperature, making it the hottest period on record.
  • This forecast follows decades of rising temperatures and increasing climate risks, with the hot trend driven by persistent greenhouse gas emissions and surpassing previous predictions on heat thresholds.
  • The WMO forecasts that global near-surface temperatures from 2025 to 2029 will be 1.2°C to 1.9°C higher than the 1850–1900 baseline, with Arctic areas experiencing warming at a rate more than threefold greater than the global mean. Additionally, changes in precipitation patterns are expected to impact multiple regions.
  • The report assigns an 80% chance of a record-breaking warm year and an 86% chance that at least one year in 2025–2029 will exceed 1.5°C warming above pre-industrial levels, while a 70% chance exists that the five-year average warming will surpass 1.5°C.
  • These projections suggest continued severe impacts on societies, economies, ecosystems, and development, with no sign of respite, underscoring the urgent need to address emissions and meet international climate goals.
