The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has published its latest monthly Climate Bulletin, focused on key climate trends in February 2025.
The bulletin reports that February 2025 was the third warmest February on record globally, with an average surface air temperature of 13.36°C, 0.63°C above the 1991-2020 average for the month. Furthermore, February 2025 measured 1.59°C above the pre-industrial average.
This data visualisation, based on C3S data, shows Europe, where the average temperature for February was 0.44°C, 0.40°C above the 1991-2020 average. Outside of Europe, temperatures were above average in large parts of the Arctic, particularly over Greenland, Svalbard (Norway), and Canada. More information is available here.
C3S provides open data which is essential for monitoring global climate trends. This information provides evidence-based insights for the creation and implementation of climate strategies.
