The planet just experienced its third-warmest year on record, and average temperatures have exceeded 1.5C of global warming over three years, the longest period since records began, EU scientists said on Wednesday (January 13). The data from the European Union's European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) confirmed that the last three years were the planet's three hottest since records began - with 2025 just marginally cooler than 2023, by 0.01C.

Our planet is getting warmer. Every year, NASA and NOAA calculate the average surface temperature around the globe. These annual temperature data make up the global temperature record – and it’s how scientists know that the planet is warming. Red spirals in this visualization indicate years with warmer-than-average temperatures. The visualization “turns red” after 1975, showing that most of Earth’s warming has occurred in the last several decades. Overall, the average global temperature on Earth
