"Two-thirds of the world’s surface was scorched by a month or more of
record-breaking heat,
Guardian analysis of satellite data can reveal.
In oceans and on land, from Colombia to China, and from the north to south
pole, records for the monthly average temperature were smashed time and time
again last year – in some cases, by as much as 5C (9F) hotter than the previous
record.
The
Guardian took the average temperatures for each month in 2024, as
recorded by the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), and compared them
with the hottest month since 1979.
Anywhere coloured in yellow through to red on the map broke a temperature
record – something that scientists have warned represents “the widespread,
accelerating impact of human-induced climate change”."
