Scientists Predict 2025 Will Be The Hottest Year On Record

The“New Scientist” magazine published a report yesterday stating that meteorologists had expected global temperatures to begin decreasing after the record highs in 2023 and 2024. However, instead, global temperatures surged to their highest point in January 2025.

According to the report, January 2025 was the warmest January ever recorded, with temperatures 1.75°C higher than the average from 1850 to 1900, surpassing previous records.

Scientists, observing this new record in global temperatures, have warned that 2025 is likely to be the hottest year in history. They have described this unprecedented rise in global temperatures as alarming and emphasize the need to combat global warming.

It is noteworthy that January 2025 marks the eighteenth January where the recorded global temperature was 1.5°C above the long-term average. This persistent rise in temperatures has raised widespread concerns about its potential consequences.

Climatic scientists had initially expected the trend of global warming and rising temperatures to subside in 2025, following an El Niño heating event in January 2024, which was expected to shift into the cooling La Niña phase.

However, according to scientists, even with the La Niña pattern, which cools the tropical Pacific Ocean, the trend of record-breaking global temperatures has continued.

The continuing rise in global temperatures highlights the urgent need for effective climate action. Scientists and policymakers must work together to mitigate the impact of climate change and take immediate steps to reduce global warming. Without decisive action, the world may face increasingly severe environmental, social, and economic consequences.
