Despite 2024 being warmest year on record, long-term global warming still below Paris pact threshold: WMO
Wednesday, 19 March 2025 The year 2024 is projected to be the warmest on record with a global temperature rise of 1.55 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, per the WMO report. Despite this, long-term warming stays below the Paris Agreement's 1.5-degree threshold. The increase is driven by greenhouse gas emissions and climate events like El Niño.
Southern Europe is enduring a punishing heat wave as hot-air masses from Africa and the U.S. collide, pushing temperatures toward record-breaking levels. Portugal and Spain brace for highs over 109°F, while France, Italy, and Greece remain scorched. A marine heat wave in the Mediterranean is further amplifying the crisis. Experts link this extreme weather to human-driven climate change, warning that heat-related deaths have surged 30% in two decades. With 5 billion people projected to face dangerous heat annually by 2050, Europe’s heat crisis is a stark warning for the world.
