May 2024 marked the twelfth consecutive month of record-high global temperatures.
The global average temperature for the past year was the highest since record-keeping began in 1850.
Extreme heat has led to significant impacts, including school closures and drought declarations in the Philippines.
Three major deadly weather disasters in May were linked to climate change, affecting Brazil, East Africa, and Southwest Asia.
