Climate change impacts gripped the globe in 2024, with cascading impacts from mountain peaks to ocean depths and on communities, economies and the environment. WMO The year 2024 is set to be the warmest on record , capping a decade of unprecedented heat fuelled by human activities, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

The State of Climate Services report says that in 2024, one third of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) provide climate services at an ‘essential’ level, and nearly one third at an ‘advanced’ or `full’ level. It says that countries in Asia and Africa, in particular, have made strides in boosting their capacity ...

The WMO State of the Climate 2024 Update once again issues a Red Alert at the sheer pace of climate change in a single generation, turbo-charged by ever-increasing greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. 2015-2024 will be the warmest ten years on record; the loss of ice from glaciers, sea-level rise and ocean heating are accelerating; and extreme weather is wreaking havoc on …

Jan 10, 2025 · “Climate history is playing out before our eyes. We’ve had not just one or two record-breaking years, but a full ten-year series. This has been accompanied by devastating and extreme weather, rising sea levels and melting ice, all powered by record-breaking greenhouse gas levels due to human activities,” said WMO Secretary-General Celeste ...

Jan 10, 2025 · Climate change is the term used to describe changes in the state of the climate that can be identified by changes in the average and/or the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer.

Jan 20, 2025 · SST anomalies in the Niño 3.4 and Niño 3 regions are expected to decline slightly during February–April (FMA) 2025, with a small chance of entering weak La Niña territory. In the Niño 4 region farther west, SST anomalies are also predicted to decrease slightly. The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) index is projected to return to near-average levels. In the equatorial …

In 2023 alone, people experienced an average of 50 additional days of health-threatening temperatures due to climate change. Nearly half of the world faced severe drought. At the same time, 61% of global land areas saw an increase in extreme precipitation events, contributing to heightened food insecurity for 151 million more people compared to previous decades.
