Key Facts

  • From 1951 to 2025, long-record stations in the world warmed by +0.23 C per decade (+0.42 F) (95 percent interval +0.19 to +0.28 C), from 3,978 stations measured against each station's own 1961-1990 mean.
  • The latest year in the series for the world, 2025, was +1.45 C against the 1961-1990 mean.
  • In the world the daily minimum rose faster than the daily maximum, by 0.03 C per decade (the two intervals overlap).
  • Of 6,472 stations in the world with at least 50 complete years of record, 664 had 2024 as their warmest year.
  • In the world, the mean annual temperature of 3,416 stations changed by +1.19 C between the 1961-1990 and 2011-2025 periods.

3,978 stations in 356 grid cells of 5 by 5 degrees. Each station is compared with its own 1961-1990 mean, so stations at different heights and latitudes can be averaged. Stations are averaged within each grid cell and cells are weighted by the cosine of latitude.

Of the 6,472 stations in the world with at least 50 complete years of record, 664 (10.3%) had 2024 as their warmest year on record.

The years that were the warmest on record at the most stations are 2024 (664 stations), 2012 (388 stations), 1931 (353 stations), 1934 (329 stations) and 1921 (299 stations).

1,472 of the 6,472 stations (22.7%) had their warmest year in the 2020s. That decade is not over.

The set is the 6,472 stations with at least 50 complete years (all twelve months with 20 or more days of maximum and minimum). A station's warmest year is the one with the highest annual mean temperature, a tie going to the later year. The count describes these stations, not the whole area.

From 1951 to 2025, the daily maximum in the world changed by +0.22 C per decade (+0.40 F) (95 percent interval +0.17 to +0.27 C) and the daily minimum by +0.25 C per decade (+0.45 F) (95 percent interval +0.21 to +0.29 C), from 3,978 stations.

The daily minimum rose faster, by 0.03 C per decade more than the daily maximum; the two intervals overlap, so the data do not separate them.

The day-night range (daily maximum minus daily minimum) changed by -0.03 C per decade (95 percent interval -0.06 to +0.01 C), an interval that includes zero.

The day-night range is the daily maximum minus the daily minimum, so a falling range means the minimum rose by more than the maximum. Intervals allow for year to year persistence in the series.

Across 3,416 stations in the world with long records, the mean annual temperature was 9.3 C (48.8 F) in 1961-1990, 10.1 C (50.1 F) in 1991-2020 and 10.5 C (50.9 F) in 2011-2025, a change of +1.2 C (+2.1 F) from the first period to the latest.

Mean annual rain, from years with at least 329 days of rain data, was 785.9 mm (30.9 in) in 1961-1990, 802.7 mm (31.6 in) in 1991-2020 and 811.5 mm (31.9 in) in 2011-2025, a change of +3.3% from the first period to the latest.

Of the 600 stations on the map, 530 were warmer in 2011-2025 than in 1961-1990 and 65 were cooler.

424 of the 580 stations on the map with a rain figure had more rain and 155 had less.

A run belongs to the year it started in, even when it ran on into the next year. A station appears once per list, with its longest run in a complete year. Dry and wet spells are the longest run within a year. Lists use complete years only, so a long run in a year with gaps in the record is not counted.

A snow season runs from 1 July to 30 June and is labelled by the year it starts in, so 2009-10 is the season of 2009. A season is complete when at least 150 days report snow depth. The set holds stations at 20 degrees north or further north with at least 5 snow cover days per season on average in 1961-1990 and complete seasons in every decade.

9,642 stations with a 1961-1990 record

A summer is hot when its mean daily maximum is at or above the station's 80th percentile of its 1961-1990 summers, and dry when its rain is at or below the 20th percentile. A summer is hot and dry when it is both. Summer is June to August north of the equator and December to February south of it, labelled by the year of its first month.
