BREAKING: 2024 has record-breaking heat and is officially the hottest year ever recorded.
It's the warmest the world has been since experts started tracking data more than 175 years ago.
Earth's average land and ocean surface temperature reaching 2.32°F (1.29°C) above the 20th-century average, according to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. This surpassed the previous record set in 2023, highlighting the rapid pace of global warming.
Notably, the planet's 10 warmest years have all occurred within the last decade.
Adding to the concerning trends, Antarctic sea ice coverage during its maximum extent in September and minimum extent in February ranked among the lowest ever observed. Meanwhile, Arctic sea ice fared slightly better but still ranked seventh lowest on record.
Ocean heat content, another crucial climate indicator, also hit an all-time high in 2024.
