The high temperatures remained the new “smoothness” in the world the Mayboth on Earth and in the seas of the planet, as in many areas the “unusual high” measurements continued, as for more than two years.

Although it retreated below the 1.5 ° C to growth limit compared to the pre -industrial era, the past month was the second warmest ever recorded on Earth, behind only May 2024, the European Observatory stresses Copernicus.

In May the average temperature was 15.79 ° C, just 0.12 ° C below the absolute record, which was only recorded last year, however above May 2000, which is now third.

Similarly in the oceans: with 20.79 ° C.

“Large areas of the northeast and northern Atlantic, who have experienced sea heatwaves, recorded surface temperatures-record temperatures. Most of the Mediterranean was much warmer than the average, “the center experts found.

The health of the oceans lies in the heart of the Third Council of the United Nations dedicated to them (UNOC), which is underway in Nice, southern France these days.

Marine heatwaves can lead to mass immigration and episodes of mass mortality, worsening ecosystems, and reducing the ability of the oceans to mix the surfaces of the surface with them in depths, thereby preventing nutrients from distributing nutrients.

The oceans, which cover 70% of the Earth’s surface, are also a major climate regulator of the Earth. The warmest waters lead to heavy thunderstorms, stronger hurricanes or cyclones, and this is accompanied by a sequence of disasters and floods.

The Copernicus Center points out that spring had very low rainfall. “Some parts of Europe have experienced the lowest levels of precipitation and moisture on the ground since at least 1979,” his experts said.

In the spring, various records broke in Britain, and drought unprecedented for decades has been affecting Denmark and the Netherlands for weeks, raising concerns both about their agricultural production and their reserves of water resources.

Last months was 1.4 ° C.Merger than the average of the 1850-1900 period, which belongs to the pre-industrial era, before humanity began to make massive use of fossil fuels, which attributes ongoing climate change and overheating of the land.

However, in May 2025 “the unprecedented long months (with temperatures) was interrupted higher than 1.5 ° C” compared to the pre -industrial era, said Carlo Boudebo, director of the Copernica Center (C3S) monitoring service. In the last 22 months, this symbolic limit has been exceeded, which coincides with the most ambitious objective of the Paris Agreement.

This development may “offer a short respite on the planet, but we expect the 1.5 ° C to overcome in the near future due to the continued overheating of the climate system,” he warned.

Calculated over a 12-month period (June 2024-May 2025), moreover, the increase in temperature compared to the pre-industrial period reached 1.57 ° C.

The temperatures referred to in the historical agreement are, however, long -term, relate to average twenty years, so that safe estimates are allowed, beyond fluctuations from year to year. Scientists, taking into account this criterion, believe that the increase in Earth’s temperature is at least 1.3 ° C.

But scientists ordered by the United Nations predict that there is now a possibility in the two possibility that the planet’s temperature rise will reach 1.5 ° C in 2030-2035.

Scientists emphasize the importance of restricting the increase in Earth’s temperature as much as possible, as each additional decimal number means greater risks, from fuel waves to destruction of marine life.

Limiting the temperature rise to 1.5 ° C rather, instead of 2 ° C – the ceiling of the Paris Agreement – would allow the most devastating consequences, according to GIEC, the Intergovernmental Committee on the UN climate change.
