This year is expected to rival some of the hottest ever recorded, Canadian federal scientists say
Canada faces its hottest five-year period from 2026 to 2030 with global temperatures 1.35–1.53°C above pre-industrial levels, a 12% chance of a 1.5°C rise exists, says Environment Canada.
- On Jan. 19, 2026, Environment and Climate Change Canada forecast 2026 will be one of the hottest years globally, releasing its annual global average temperature prediction.
- Human-Caused emissions and natural climate variability explain temperatures remained near record levels despite a La Niña cooling influence last year, Environment and Climate Change Canada scientists say.
- Climate models show the five‑year period 2026–2030 could be the hottest on record, with global temperature range between 1.35 and 1.53 degrees Celsius and a 12 per cent chance of reaching 1.5 C this year.
- Canadians already felt the heat as last year's wave broke 51 daily heat records, Toronto, Ontario beaches reached 36 degrees Celsius, and Canada warms over twice the global rate, especially in the north.
- Forecasts warn the world may fully breach the 1.5 C Paris Agreement threshold by 2030, with a 12 per cent chance of reaching 1.5 C this year, and possibly followed by an El Niño in 2027.
