Copernicus - New Global Temperature Record in January
STOCKHOLM-08.02.2024-HİBYA- Globally, in the past January, the "warmest January on record" was registered. According to the European Union's (EU) climate service Copernicus, this means that temperature records have been broken for eight consecutive months.
Accordingly, in January 2024, the "average temperature was determined to be 13.4 degrees Celsius" worldwide; this is 1.2 degrees higher than January 2020, the warmest January.
Compared to the pre-industrial January averages between 1850-1900, this year's January was 1.6 degrees warmer. Thus, January 2024 marked the twelfth consecutive month where temperatures were measured more than 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
In a press statement, Copernicus Deputy Director Samantha Burgess cautioned, "Rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the only way to halt global temperature rise."
Researchers emphasized that temperature values represent a global average, noting that while very low temperatures and even cold records were recorded in Northern Europe, temperatures in Southern Europe were unusually high.
