Global avg temperature breached 1.5° C threshold in past 12 months: C3S
June was the 13th month in a row that temperatures have been record high, despite the developing La Nina conditions, European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service said on Monday. The data from June indicates that for an entire year now, global average temperatures have breached Paris Agreement’s 1.5 degree C goal. {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSubscribed}} {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSubscribed}} June 2024 was warmer globally than any previous June in the data record, with an average ERA5 surface air temperature of 16.66 degree C, 0.67 degree C above the 1991-2020 average for June and 0.14 degree C above the previous high set in June 2023. The Paris Agreement sets long-term goals to guide all nations to substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to limit the global temperature increase in this century to 2 degree C while pursuing efforts to limit the increase even further to 1.5 degree C, to avoid or reduce adverse impacts and related losses and damages. There is an 80% chance that Paris Agreement’s 1.5 degree C goal will be breached during at least one of the next 5 years, the Geneva based World Meteorological Organisation’s Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update has warned in June.
