Global warming may top 1.5C during 2025-2029

Global temperatures are expected to remain at or near record levels over the next five years, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The report warns of increased climate-related risks and impacts on societies, economies, and sustainable development. The WMO projects that the annually averaged global mean near-surface temperature for each year from 2025 to 2029 will be between 1.2°C and 1.9°C above the 1850–1900 average. There is an 80% likelihood that at least one year during this period will exceed the current record for the warmest year, set in 2024. Additionally, there is an 86% chance that at least one year will surpass 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The report does not provide forecasts for specific individual years.
