    Folks, congratulations to our achievement! 👏👏👏 🏆 -.-

    "We conclude that 2025 was the third warmest year on Earth since 1850. It is exceeded only by 2024 and 2023."

    "The last 11 years have included all 11 of the warmest years observed in the instrumental record, with the last 3 years including all of the top 3 warmest."

    "October 2025 was the third warmest October on record behind 2023 and 2024, with a global average of 1.52 ± 0.08 °C (2.73 ± 0.14 °F) above the 1850-1900 average."

    "2025 now has a 94% likelihood to be the third warmest year on record and almost no chance (0.02%) to have an annual average above 1.5 °C."

    "May 2025 was the second warmest May on record, with a monthly global average of 1.33 ± 0.11°C (2.39 ± 0.19 °F) above the 1850-1900 average. This is well below the record set in May 2024, but still above all previous years."

  6. #FYI #BerkeleyEarth #temperature Update March 2025

    "...While we measure March 2025 to be 0.02 °C and 0.04 °C warmer than 2024 and 2016, respectively, Copernicus ranked March 2025 as the second warmest March and NOAA reported the third warmest March."

  7. Global #Temperature Report for #2024 - #BerkeleyEarth
    Annual average for 2024 is estimated as 1.62 ± 0.06 ° above the average pre-industrial period. The warming spike observed in 2023 and 2024 has been extreme and represents a larger than expected deviation from the previous warming trend.
    Recent warming trends and the lack of adequate mitigation measures make it clear that the 1.5 °C goal will not be met.

  8. Grmpf.
    I wanted to see the evolution of the temperature difference day-night (DIU) in some regions, eg the Tropics.
    Berkely Earth has daily TMIN and TMAX in gridded cells for land-only, based on observations at weather stations and some other calculation magicc to fill in gaps between weather stations berkeleyearth.org/data/

    Cool, aye?!
    But I got suspicious once I had done the data preparation and eagerly looked at the lineplots. ^^

    My sanity check was Germany for which DWD has #opendata :
    opendata.dwd.de/climate_enviro

    Comparing the daily climatology provided by Berkely Earth for German grid cells, I found that only TMIN is trustworthy enough (defined as difference of ±1.5°C in the base average 1951-1980).

    (Not trustworthy enough for daily perspectives like in my DIU project, but in monthly averaging it can probably show a trustworthy trend. – While its amplitude should be digested with caution .)

    Berkeley's daily TMAX base average ("climatology") is on average 4°C hotter than the base average from DWD's actual station TXK reporting, range from -4 to +12°C.

    TMIN can be very off the mark as well: range is from -3 to +33°C.
    While the average difference is +2.95°C...

    All this is based on their daily "climatology", the 30 year period 1951-1980 and only German grid cells, with only those DWD stations that are still online and were online for at least 20 years in the 30 year period.

    "Globally, October 2024 was nominally the second warmest October since directly measured instrumental records began in 1850. October 2024 was measured as 1.69±0.09°C (3.04 ± 0.17 °F) above the corresponding 1850-1900 average."

  10. Berkeley Earth June 2024 Temperature update
    July 17, 2024 by Robert Rohde

    "...the 12-month moving average of global mean temperature now stands at 1.68 ± 0.07 °C (3.02 ± 0.13 °F) above the 1850-1900 average. "

    "Over land regions, 2024 was by far the warmest June ever observed. The land average was 2.25 ± 0.15 °C (4.05 ± 0.27 °F) above the 1850 to 1900 average."

  14. Did I already told you my #daughter is the best ? I should !

    For my birthday, she made a #ShowYourStripes (inspired by @ed_hawkins) Brazilian / friendship bracelet.

    What a brilliant idea to always keep in mind the effects of the #climatecrisis and act accordingly!

    #ClimateChange

    Ok, I did help her doing the color scale based on the #BerkeleyEarth world data.

  15. CW: Factors affecting global climate

    This month’s record, and the longer recent period of warmth, are driven by a collection of several man-made* and natural factors acting together.

    - anthropogenic global warming
    - El niño/ la niña
    - Solar cycles
    - volcanic eruption of Hunga-Tonga
    - cleaner marine fuels

    Firstly, man-made* global warming has been raising the Earth’s temperature by about 0.19 °C/decade (0.34 °F/decade). This is a direct consequence of the accumulation of additional greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide. This is the primary factor responsible for long-term warming.

    (Probably you know this already, but I liked especially the other factors, as there is often talk about them, but seldom these factors are compared...)

    * note: usually I would edit the quote to avoid "man-made", but in this case it makes sense: most fossil executives and heads of states are and were proud ... dicks?

  16. Hi @ed_hawkins, your #WarningStripes are awesome. I made my own version using the data from #BerkeleyEarth (and in 🇫🇷 ), but I changed the normalisation.
    The way it is normalised is presenting #GlobalWarming to have started ~30 years ago which is not true. It also give the feeling that we changed from a cold period to a hot one, which isn't completely true. Before #climatechange, the temperature was fluctuating around a mean value, while now it is always much hotter.
