global temperature was 1.47 degrees Celsius (2.52 degrees Fahrenheit) above the pre-industrial level in 2025, making the last 11 years the warmest ever, data released by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts showed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of

2023, the second-warmest year, according to the intergovernmental weather monitor.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time ever, the average temperature during 2023-2025 exceeded the 1.5C (2.7F) limit set out in the Paris Agreement over three years, according to the data.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0UK Met Office\u00a0said\u00a0separately that its data also\u00a0showed 2025\u00a0as the\u00a0third-warmest\u00a0year\u00a0on record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe long-term increase in global annual average temperature is driven by the human-induced rise in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,\u201d Met Office climate scientist Colin Morice said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which monitor climate change in the United States, are set to release their latest data on global temperatures later on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 200 countries pledged to limit the long-term rise in global temperatures to 1.5C (2.7F) at a landmark summit in Paris in 2015, but the planet\u2019s continued warming has left that goal in serious doubt.<\/p>\n<p>The US, the world\u2019s second-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, announced early last year that it would exit the Paris accord, in one of President Donald Trump\u2019s first acts in office.<\/p>\n<p>China, the world\u2019s top\u00a0polluter,\u00a0in September\u00a0announced a\u00a0target for\u00a0cutting emissions outright\u00a0for the first time, but the goal was widely panned by climate experts as inadequate.<\/p>\n<p>In October, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the planet would inevitably overshoot the 1.5C (2.7F) threshold as he stressed the need for early warning systems to protect communities across the globe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Average temperatures during 2023-2025 exceeded the 1.5C limit set out in the Paris Agreement, data shows.
