According to Copernicus, it's increasingly likely that 2024 will be the warmest year on record. "Our climate is warming," explained Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Weather records have been kept since around 1940.
The highest temperature readings this year could potentially break the existing records, as predicted by the Copernicus Climate Change Service. Maintaining accurate records of global temperatures is essential for tracking climate change trends.
