Scientists warn that 2024 will be the hottest year on record
World
2023 was the hottest year on record, and the coming year is likely to be even hotter. One reason for this is the El Niño phenomenon, a warming phenomenon associated with fluctuations in the temperature of the surface layer of water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.
2024 may become the hottest year in the history of observations, Bloomberg writes with reference to experts. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) called 2023 the hottest year in the history of observations even before its end: global temperatures in the first 10 months of the year were 1.4 degrees above the pre-industrial average. The British Meteorological Service has not ruled out that temperatures in 2024 will exceed that figure by 1.5 degrees.
According to the agency, next year's temperature rise is due to the El Niño phenomenon. This is a warming associated with fluctuations in the temperature of the surface layer of water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. It also affected the temperature in 2023.
