Average temperatures were above the pre-industrial level for the 18th month in the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average surface air temperature in January 2025 was 55.8\u00b0F (13.23\u00b0C), which is 3.15\u00b0F above pre-industrial levels. This marks the 18th month in the last 19 months in which the global average temperature has surpassed pre-industrial levels, <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.copernicus.eu\/copernicus-january-2025-was-warmest-record-globally-despite-emerging-la-nina\">according<\/a> to the C3S report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2.7\u00b0F (1.5\u00b0C) threshold for climate change comes from the Paris Agreement, based on decades of scientific consensus and studies. Under the agreement, global leaders committed to limiting warming to well below 2\u00b0C and striving for 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels to mitigate climate risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperatures were above average across Antarctica, northwest Canada, Alaska, and Siberia, as well as southern and eastern Europe, southern South America, Africa, and much of Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>January data also showed that the average sea surface temperature (SST) was 69.4\u00b0F (20.78\u00b0C), the second-highest on record for the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SSTs were below average over the central equatorial Pacific but close to or above average in the eastern equatorial Pacific, indicating a slowing or stalling of the transition toward La Ni\u00f1a conditions. Meanwhile, sea temperatures remained &#8220;unusually high in many other ocean basins and seas.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>January also brought wetter-than-average conditions to western Europe, Canada, Alaska, Australia, and Brazil, while drier-than-average conditions were observed in the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico, northern UK and Ireland, eastern Spain, the Middle East, Central Asia, eastern China, and southern Africa, Australia, and South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arctic sea ice reached its lowest January extent on record, at 6% below average, according to the report. Antarctic sea ice extent was 5% below average, a contrast to the record or near-record levels observed in 2023\u20132024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;January 2025 is another surprising month,&#8221; said Dr. Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of C3S. &#8220;It continues the record temperatures observed over the past two years, despite the development of La Ni\u00f1a conditions in the tropical Pacific and their temporary cooling effect on global temperatures.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earth has experienced its warmest January on record, according to new data published by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
