The first half of 2024 is expected to be more anomalously warm than the second half, with the imminent demise of El Nino and the rise of a potentially significant La Nina event in the Pacific. This shift comes after the ninth consecutive month of record warmth in February 2024, where the average global air temperature was +1.44°C above the 1951-1980 climate baseline and +1.73°C above the 1880-1920 baseline. U.S. forecasters see a 62% chance of La Nina conditions in summer 2024. February 2024 has been noted as the warmest February on record, emphasizing the urgent need for action to address rising temperatures. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Center for Environmental Information (NOAA CEI) has calculated a 45% chance that 2024 will be the planet's warmest year on record.

First half of 2024 will likely be "more anomalously warm" than second half of year with expected imminent demise of #ElNino & rise of potentially significant #LaNina event in Pacific. Yet 2024 is still very likely to be warmest or second warmest year on record...👀 #ClimateChange https://t.co/JSsoYUNfdl
