November 2024 was the second-warmest November globally
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has published its latest monthly Climate Bulletin, focused on key climate trends in November 2024.
The bulletin indicates that November 2024 was the second-warmest November globally, following November 2023, with an average surface air temperature of 14.10°C, which is 0.73°C above the 1991-2020 average for the month.
From January to November 2024, the global-average temperature anomaly stood at 0.72°C above the 1991-2020 average, marking the highest recorded for this period and measuring 0.14°C warmer than the same period in 2023. In light of this trend, it is virtually certain that 2024 will be the warmest year on record, exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to C3S data.
This data visualisation, based on C3S data, shows the surface air temperature anomaly for November 2024 across the European continent and parts of Africa, the Americas, and Asia. More information is available here.
C3S data is essential for tracking global climate trends, providing valuable insights to help decision-makers develop and implement effective climate strategies for the future.
