Global temperature streak continues with record heat in April

The abnormally warm conditions came despite the continued weakening of the El Nino weather phenomenon that contributes to increased heat, said the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service, pointing to human-caused climate change for exacerbating the extremes. Since June last year, every month has been the warmest such period on record, according to Copernicus. April 2024 was no exception, clocking in at 1.58 degrees Celsius above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. "While unusual, a similar streak of monthly global temperature records happened previously in 2015/16," Copernicus said. The average temperature over the last 12 months was also recorded at 1.6C above pre-industrial levels, surpassing the 1.5C target set by the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit global warming. Last month was the second warmest April ever recorded in Europe, as was March and the entire winter period. AFP
