US Edition2025 was one of the three hottest years on record, scientists find
Global temperatures in 2025 remained over 1.4°C above pre-industrial levels for the third consecutive year, driven mainly by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, scientists said.
- Last year, NOAA, Hadcrut5 dataset and Copernicus ERA5 analysis confirmed 2025 as the third-warmest year, with 2023–2025 marking the third consecutive period over 1.4C above pre-industrial levels.
- Climate scientists pointed to human greenhouse gases as the dominant cause, with El Niño adding around 0.1C before weakening in 2025, researchers said.
- Upper-Ocean heat content reached a record high, and the oceans stored about 90 percent of excess heat, triggering 101 named tropical storms including 52 hurricane-force and five category 5 storms.
- Climatologists across the Western U.S. warn limited mountain snowpack will curb water supplies later this year, affecting hydroelectric power and agriculture, while a warmer atmosphere holding at least 10% more moisture raises flood and wildfire risks.
- Experts warned the world is nearing the Paris Agreement 1.5C limit, and scientists urged sharp, rapid cuts in emissions, noting the past decade and past 11 years were the warmest on record.

Experts issue urgent warning as records show 'extreme' spike in marker for global crisis: 'It's all at risk'
The last three years have marked an unprecedented hot streak for the Earth. 2025 was its third-warmest year on record. The only two years that have been hotter globally were 2023 and 2024. The three-year warming spike, the sharpest of its kind in climate records dating back to 1850, might signal an acceleration of climate change, according to scientists. "Major economies that refuse to act are putting their own economic security in jeopardy," …
NOAA: 2025 was the third-warmest year on record, trailing 2023 and 2024
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) just released its annual Global Temperature and Precipitation Analysis for 2025, and the results continue recent trends. The report highlighted that last year was the third-warmest year globally on record, just behind 2023 as the second warmest and 2024, the warmest ever. The analysis reviews weather and ocean data going back to 1850. The report noted that the past decade was the warmest…
NOAA reveals 2025 as 3rd warmest year on record for Earth
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) -- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its weather and climate analysis of 2025 for the United States and the globe. Once again, with the annual breakdown, the stats are eye-opening. According to NOAA, 2025 was the fourth-warmest year on record in the United States, around 2.6 degrees above average. [...]
2025 was one of the three hottest years on record, scientists find
Last year was the Earth’s second or third-hottest on record, several U.S. and global climate science organizations said. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as well as the EU’s Copernicus and the UK’s Met Office, found that 2025 was the third-hottest year recorded. NASA found that 2025 was the second-hottest year, though the numbers were so close it was…
