El Niño to Set New Global Heat Records in 2024

New research predicts record-breaking temperatures worldwide, with significant impacts from the Amazon to Alaska.

A 90% chance exists that global average surface temperatures will hit a new high by June 2024, driven by El Niño.
Regions like the Bay of Bengal, the Philippines, and the Caribbean are expected to face unprecedented heat.
El Niño, exacerbated by climate change, raises the risk of droughts, wildfires, and marine heatwaves.
2023 was the hottest year on record, a precursor to the expected temperature surge in 2024.
Moderate El Niño scenario likely, but even this could push global temperatures past previous records.
