Recent data highlights a concerning trend in global temperatures, with Antarctica experiencing an unexpected temperature rise of 38.5C, marking a significant shift in climate patterns as noted by Paul Wallis. This event is part of a broader pattern of temperature anomalies, as the last seven months of 2023 have set new records for heat, with each month surpassing previous highs. Notably, February and January of this year were the hottest ever recorded for those months. The Southern Hemisphere continued this trend into March 2024, setting another new monthly record for temperature anomalies, according to data. Nigeria is facing extreme heat fueled by climate change, as reported by Solomon Elusoji with comments from Nimet Nigeria and AFAN. Antarctica was hit by a record heatwave, with temperatures reaching 40°C above average. Preliminary data suggests that April 2024 could be the warmest April globally since records began in the mid-1800s. However, with only a week of data available for April, the uncertainty remains fairly large. This series of record-breaking temperatures has led to fears of 'uncharted territory' in climate change, with the last ten months consecutively setting new heat records, alarming climate scientists and indicating that the world is on borrowed time.

#Data | This year’s February was the hottest February ever. So was this year’s January. The last seven months of 2023 also marked record highs for those months. Records have been set and broken in successive years, which means that the world is heating up. https://t.co/Gw2a4y6qWh
