From aming all the great charts that came out on Jan10 on 2024's climate, I like this one among the most. It shows nicely how the past two years have stood out not only from.the warming trend, but even from the extreme outliers from the warming trend.
2023-2024 were extreme among the extremes.

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.

Looking ahead to 2025, we expect it to be slightly cooler than 2023 and 2024 at around 1.4C above preindustrial levels, as El Nino has faded away and cooler conditions are developing in the tropical Pacific.

This is the first time in human history that annual global temperatures have exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels - a stark reminder that our window for decisive #ClimateAction is rapidly closing.
2024 was the warmest year on record with an average global temperature 1.6°C above pre-industrial level.
It's the first year to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial level, with every month but one since July 23 surpassing this threshold.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
