European scientists have confirmed that 2025 was the third-warmest year on record, with the average global temperature reaching 1.47 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This places the last eleven years as the warmest ever recorded. The data, released by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, shows 2025 was only marginally cooler than 2024, the warmest year, and 2023, the second-warmest. Notably, the average temperature for the 2023-2025 period has exceeded the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit set by the Paris Agreement for three consecutive years, raising significant concerns about achieving climate goals.
