April 2024 was the warmest April on record globally, marking the 11th consecutive month of record-breaking heat. The average global air temperature for April was 1.32°C above the 1951-1980 climate baseline and 1.60°C above the 1880-1920 baseline. This period of unprecedented warmth has affected large regions, including South America, Central America, Africa, Europe, Canada, and the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, northern hemisphere snow cover was the lowest on record for April, and sea surface temperatures have been at record highs for the past 13 months. NOAA and other meteorological organizations, including FOX Weather, have highlighted the severity of these climate trends, with projections indicating that May 2024 is also likely to set a new record for warmth. Concurrently, global CO2 levels have set a new all-time record.
With half the month of data in, its very likely (>95% chance) that May 2024 will be the warmest May on record, extending the streak of record breaking months to 12 in a row: https://t.co/Cv07hxWOdX
