Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Global temperatures dipped in 2025 but more heat records on way,
scientists warn
Though 2025 was not the hottest year, the last three years were the
hottest on record, having exceeded 1.4 °C above pre-industrial levels of the
late 1800s. Extreme weather events linked to global warming continued, such as
heatwaves in Europe and the Indian subcontinent, cyclones and pre-monsoon rains
in South Asia, wildfires and floods in the USA, to name a few. Though sea
surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific were cooler due to La Niña
conditions in 2025, it was nearly as warm as the previous two warmer El Niño
years. As the world is experiencing rapid warming at the upper end of the
long-term expectations, ice sheets in polar regions and glaciers are melting
faster than ever. When we look back this year from 2050, we would most likely
see that the 2020s were cooler years than then.
