The effects of climate change are now becoming increasingly visible across the world. Meanwhile, Europe’s climate change agency Copernicus has announced a scary prediction. The agency has said that the year 2024 is going to be the hottest year in the history of the world. The agency said it is almost certain that 2024 will be the hottest year on record. The statement said this would be the first time the average temperature would be 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

The agency said November was the second warmest month on record this year. November 2023 is still the warmest November on record. This time the surface air temperature in November was 14.10 degrees Celsius, which is 0.73 degrees Celsius higher than the average temperature from 1991 to 2020.

- Another unwanted record related to global warming was also made in November itself. The average global temperature during this period has been 1.62 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. According to the Copernicus agency, this is the 16th month in the last 17 months when the average global temperature has been 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
- According to the Indian Meteorological Department, this has been India’s second warmest November since 1901. The average maximum temperature during this period reached 29.37 degrees Celsius, which is 0.62 degrees Celsius above normal.
- If we talk about the period from January to November in 2024, the average global temperature has been about 0.72 degrees Celsius higher than the temperature of 1991-2020. Whereas compared to January-November 2023, the temperature during the same period this year was 0.14 degrees Celsius higher.
There is a possibility of a rise of 1.50 degrees Celsius
Scientists at the European agency said temperatures in 2023 were 1.48 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, so it is almost certain that annual temperatures in 2024 will be 1.5 degrees Celsius higher.
