The warmest day on record for the entire planet was 22 July 2024 when the highest global average temperature was recorded at 17.16 °C (62.89 °F). [20] The previous record was 17.09 °C (62.76 °F) set the day before on 21 July 2024. [ 20 ]
Data are provided as temperature anomalies against the seasonal average over a past basis period, as well as in absolute temperature values. The baseline period for the published temperature anomalies was changed in January 2021 from 1981-2010 to 1991-2020. [4] All the data products can be downloaded from the UAH server. [5]
Normal temperatures are shown in white. Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower than normal temperatures are shown in blue. Normal temperatures are calculated over the 30 year baseline period 1951-1980. The final frame represents the 5 year global temperature anomalies from 2017-2021. Scale in degrees Celsius.
In recent decades, new high temperature records have substantially outpaced new low temperature records on a growing portion of Earth's surface. [50] Comparison shows seasonal variability for record increases. The warmest years in the instrumental temperature record have occurred in the last decade (i.e. 2012-2021).
This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
The Earth has set heat records for 13 straight months. The global temperature averaged over the past year is more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than pre-industrial times ...
Weather satellites have been available to infer sea surface temperature (SST) information since 1967, with the first global composites occurring during 1970. [10] Since 1982, [ 11 ] satellites have been increasingly utilized to measure SST and have allowed its spatial and temporal variation to be viewed more fully.
Recently analyzed satellite data reveals that the Lut Desert in Iran hit a global surface temperature record of 177.4 degrees Fahrenheit in 2018. Summers can be hot in Death Valley, California.
