2025 saw the highest global greenhouse gas concentrations and fossil fuel emissions on record. Hear from #StateoftheClimate chapter editor Robert Dunn @rjhd2.bsky.social at the @metoffice.gov.uk about global climate trends: bit.ly/3UtZdMA #StateoftheClimate2025

🌍 The latest global State of the Climate Report is out. It includes UKCEH lake monitoring data used to assess trends in spring phytoplankton timing. And Bethan Harris inputs to a soil moisture review which found 2025 was the driest year on average in the 1991-2025 period. #StateoftheClimate2025 ⤵️

The BAMS State of the Climate report for 2025, published today, shows that the global climate set several new records, including atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, the loss of glacial ice from mountain regions, and the dryness of global soils. Read more ⬇️ buff.ly/tkbuQdS

🚨 The 2025 #BulletinAMS State of the Climate report is here, and the findings are critical. Earth’s greenhouse gas concentrations were the highest on record and record temperatures were observed across the globe. Read here: ametsoc.org/soc #StateoftheClimate2025

Here's the BAMS SotC timeseries image I referred to. Asking Kate Willett (HadISDH developer & Humidity expert), that rise in RH is mostly driven by the marine RH which "went a bit wierd". (Not a record land value in RH - I was looking at specific humidity by mistake)
4x2 timeseries plot of various humidity metrics and datasets.  Coloured (red/blue) vertical bars indicate ENSO state.  Left column - in situ data (HadISDH), Right column - reanalyses data (ERA5, MERRA-2, JRA-3Q).  Top two rows - specificy humidity (land, then ocean), bottom two rows - relative humidity (land, then ocean).

That update isn't yet available to us on the Dashboard - so that data is only up to 2024, and so is still ISD based. hadisdh.blogspot.com has a full breakdown of that update. BAMS SotC 2024 humidity section (2d1) suggests its driven by changes over ocean in 2023-4 (ENSO) plus record land value.

2024 has recorded the highest temperature in any year since 1850 🌡🌍 This is the 11th year in succession that has equalled or exceeded 1.0°C above the pre-industrial average period A number of centres released their estimates today: www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

2024: record-breaking watershed year for global climate
2024 was the warmest year on record globally and the first year that was likely more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels: a stark reminder global temperatures are continuing to rise.

The year to date averages in 2024 started high as you might expect from an El Niño year (e.g 2016), but the average hasn't fallen as far and the past couple of months look like the average might be increasing again (October number is ERA5 based on daily averages to the 25th)
A complex graph. It shows temperature difference from the 1981-2010 average on the y axis and month on the x axis (January through December). The lines on the plot are the year-to-date averages from 1850-2024 so the leftmost point is the january average for that year and the rightmost point is the january to december average for that year. Most years (labelled other years) are shown in grey. 2023 and 2024 are shown in red and 2016 is a sort of pale teal. A green shaded area is titled (~1.5°C range).
