The last 8 years have been the warmest on record in the world.
The global average temperature in 2022 was approximately 1.15 degrees above pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels, ranging from 1.02 to 1.27 degrees Celsius. The probability of temporarily exceeding the 1.5 limit degrees of the Paris Agreement is increasing over time.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) claims it in a statement, which has put together the 6 main international databases on temperatures.
2022 was the 8th consecutive year (2015-2022) that global temperatures reached at least 1C above pre-industrial levels.
The years 2015 to 2022 were the warmest on record.
2022 was 5/o or 6/o warmer, due to the influence of Nina (the periodic cooling of the Pacific Ocean).
The three warmest years were 2016, 2019 and 2020.
The global average temperature of the decade 2013-2022 was 1.14 degrees above the 1850-1900 level (from 1.02 to 1.27).
In the decade 2011-2020 the average was 1.09 C.
WMO used data from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (NASA GISS), the United Kingdom's Met Office Hadley Center and the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research in its study. Unit (HadCrut), of the Berkeley Earth Group, of the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts with its Copernicus Climate Change Service and of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
