According to the Mehr news agency, citing Smithsonian Mag, according to the report of the “Copernicus Climate Change Service” (C3S), a European research group that monitors the world’s temperature, November 2024 was the second warmest November in history after 2023. The heat of this month has beaten the average historical temperature in this period of the year every 2 years. November 2024 was 0.73 degrees Celsius warmer than the average temperature for this month between 1991 and 2020 and 1.62 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial November average between 1850 and 1900.
The C3S report states: While there is one month left until the end of 2024, it can definitely be said that 2024 will be hotter than 2023 and therefore it will be considered the hottest year in history.
Keeping the global temperature below 1.5°C above the average pre-industrial Earth temperature (according to the Paris Agreement) now seems unlikely.
According to the November temperature, 2024 will be the first year to exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius since 2023 was only 0.02 degrees below that mark.
One of the reasons for the unprecedented increase in air temperature last year was the El Niño event, which led to the accumulation of warm water in the tropical Pacific Ocean, and as a result, the global temperature increased. El Nino ended in May 2024, and some experts predict that the El Nino event, which is an inverse weather pattern in which cold water gathers in the same place in the Pacific Ocean, will begin soon, but contrary to the forecast This may happen in late summer or fall, but so far no cold weather pattern has occurred.
The mentioned phenomenon has confused the experts. The heat released from the warm ocean waters associated with the El Niño phenomenon may hinder the cooling effect.
It is also mentioned in this report that the summer of 2024 was the hottest summer in the history of the world.
