US EditionEarth's average temperature for 2025-29 likely to exceed 1.5°C limit: WMO
- The World Meteorological Organization forecasted on May 28, 2025, that Earth's average temperature will likely exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels during 2025-2029.
- This prediction follows the first temporary breach of 1.5°C in 2024, driven by human-caused warming and an El Nino event, with models showing an 86% chance of recurrence.
- The forecast, based on over 200 computer simulations from 10 global centers, also predicts increased risks of extreme weather like heatwaves, floods, and wildfires due to rising temperatures.
- Scientists estimate the world is now about 1.4°C hotter than the mid-1800s baseline and warn that with every tenth of a degree gained, extreme events will become more frequent and severe.
- The continuing warming threatens ecosystems, economies, and human health, implying urgent need for better protections against heat and efforts to limit warming well below 2°C as per the Paris Agreement.
