Copernicus: 2025 Tracking as Second-Warmest Year on Record

Provisional January–November data show a 1.48°C rise over pre-industrial levels.

Overview

  • Copernicus says 2025 currently matches 2023 for second place behind 2024 in the global temperature rankings.
  • November 2025 was the third-warmest November on record at 14.02°C globally.
  • The 2023–2025 three-year average could reach 1.5°C above the pre-industrial benchmark, according to the provisional analysis.
  • Exceptionally high anomalies were reported over the Arctic Ocean, northern Canada and across Antarctica.
  • Copernicus links the sustained warmth to more frequent and severe extremes, citing deadly Southeast Asian floods, and urges rapid cuts to greenhouse-gas emissions.
