October 2026 set a new global temperature record of 1.75°C above pre-industrial level
The observatory adds that October 2026 also beat a monthly heat record on the surface of the oceans, due in particular to the presence of the El Niño phenomenon, which accentuates the rise in temperatures due to climate change.
According to the EU's Copernicus climate service, this year is likely to be the second warmest year on record.
Not only October broke world records. In the meantime, according to the European Earth observation program Copernicus, it is almost certain that 2026 will exceed the 1.5 degree threshold in total.
