The 2024 NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information global climate report details record-breaking high temperatures globally and regionally, exceeding previous records by significant margins. This warming trend is evident across land and ocean temperatures, impacting various regions such as North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, with varying degrees of severity and consequences.
The report also highlights record low snow and ice extents, alongside substantial changes in precipitation patterns, leading to extreme weather events including floods, droughts, and wildfires. The data underscores a continuing acceleration in global warming since 1850, with particularly rapid increases noted since 1975.
