The year 2024 was the hottest year ever recorded on the globe. This is clear after the EU’s climate service, Copernicus, has published the preliminary satellite measurements of the global average temperature for all days last year.
Climate researcher Martin Stendel from the National Center for Climate Research at DMI has calculated on the basis of the data that the air on the globe last year was an average of 15.09 degrees warmer. It is 0.11 degrees warmer than the previous record year, 2023, and 0.28 degrees warmer than the years 2016 and 2020, which share third place.
