Especially as the global effects of El Niño have faded, global temperatures have come down in the 12-month running mean perspective. Unfortunately, this is only temporary, and the long-term trend remains clearly upwards.

Similar to May, large temperature anomalies were found around the Antarctic Peninsula in June 2025, though with substantial regional variations across the continent too. These departures were >5°C higher than the 1981-2010 reference period.

South Africa has one of the world's dirtiest power grids - it's dominated by old coal plants built during the Apartheid era (and some new but problematic coal plants).
But things are starting to change. December was the best month ever for solar (12% of the mix). That sent coal's share down to 77%.
