In January 2024, global temperatures soared 1.66°C above pre-industrial levels, maintaining the month's status as the hottest on record. Copernicus noted the eighth straight month of record-high temperatures. Extreme weather events included disruptive snowstorms in Scandinavia and flooding in western Europe. Spain experienced its warmest January since 1961, with temperatures 2.4°C above average. Experts foresee 2024 surpassing the extreme temperatures of 2023, attributing this to increased greenhouse gas emissions and the lingering effects of El Niño. January also saw global sea surface temperatures hitting record highs, setting the stage for continued climate challenges and impacts worldwide.
