The study found that breaking the 32.8°C May record is around three times more likely now in our current climate than it would have been in a natural

• 2026 outlook: likely another year above 1.4°C

  The central estimate for the forecast next year is 1.46°C, this is lower than the value of 1.55°C recorded in 2024- the current warmest year on record. The forecast suggests that it is likely to be one of the four warmest years for global average temperature, likely falling in just behind the value
