Between November 2022 and October this year, the average global temperature was more than 1.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and more record highs are on the way.
The world has just experienced its hottest 12-month period in recorded history, with the average global temperature over 1.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels between November 2022 and October this year.
“Looking at the climate shift index, we could see that close to 5.8 billion people actually, in this past year, experienced temperatures higher than the normal monthly averages,” she said.
The analysis found impacts in developed nations were also accelerating, with unusually high temperatures in the last six months hitting Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Indonesia in particular.
In the past 12 months, the analysis found that a quarter of the world’s population experienced a five-day heat streak made at least two times more likely because of human-caused climate change.
The record-breaking temperatures around the world were in line with what scientists had predicted for greenhouse gas emission levels in the atmosphere, Climate Central’s Dr Pershing said.
While Dr Pershing said it was difficult to tease apart how much the normal weather cycles of La Niña and El Niño played, the record breaking 12-months was consistent with the long-term warming trend.
