Latest #Climate data shows a podium finish for 2025

We are in the decade where the 1.5°C limit is likely to be exceeded, highlighting the accelerating pace of climate change

Average global temperature for 2023–2025 is likely to exceed 1.5°C, the first three-year average to do so 🌡️🌏🧪⚒️

September 2025 was the third warmest on record

Persistently high land and sea surface temperatures reflect the continuing influence of greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere 🌍⚒️🧪🌊

Heatwaves in June 2025 were intensified by record breaking Mediterranean temperatures more than 5°C above average

Impacts of marine #heatwaves:
🪸🐠 heat stress in marine ecosystems
🌊 📉 reduce oxygen levels effecting ocean industries
🥵 Increase humidity, ⬆️ heat stress for people
➕many more

🌡️ June 2025 was the 3rd warmest June globally

🥵 June 2025 saw an exceptional #heatwave impact large parts of western Europe

🌊 This heatwave was made more intense by record ocean temperatures.

#climate change means heatwaves are:
🌞more frequent,
📈 more intense &
🌍 impact more people

Is it hot right now? YES!! (In most of Europe anyway) 🥵🥵🥵

Happy summer/winter #solstice and #showyourstripes day

Presenting the @edhawkins.org #climate and #ocean stripes at #UNOC3 in Nice. Dress embroidery highlighting biodiversity loss in a warming, acidifying, over-exploited ocean 🌊🧪⚒️🌏🌡️

Beautiful morning in Nice for #UNOC3 looking forward to connecting with many colleagues and the @copernicusmarine.bsky.social session today on the importance of ocean monitoring for #SDG14 and #climateaction

May 2025 breaks an unprecedented long sequence of months over 1.5ºC above pre-industrial

🌡️ May 2025 was the second warmest May globally

📈 May 2025 was 1.40°C above the estimated 1850-1900 average

🌊 SSTs were the 2nd highest on record for May, with an extreme marine heatwave in the North Atlantic

Globally, April 2025 was the second-hottest April on record, continuing the long sequence of months over 1.5ºC above pre-industrial.

Continuous #climate monitoring is an essential tool for understanding and responding to the ongoing changes of our climate system.

How are #heatwaves changing in #Europe?

According to the European #Climate Report, 2024 saw:

🌡️ Record-breaking ‘strong heat stress’ days and tropical nights in southeastern Europe during summer

🥵 In recent decades, heat has been the leading cause of reported deaths due to extreme weather
