2026 Projected as Second-Hottest Year Due to Strong El Nino and Global Warming
The EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service reports that 2026 is likely to be the second-hottest year on record, driven by a strong El Nino intensifying human-induced global warming. Global temperatures are expected to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, surpassing the Paris Agreement target. October 2023 marked the warmest on record, with three consecutive months above this threshold. The forecast comes ahead of the UN's COP31 climate summit amid recent extreme weather events worldwide.
