Global Temperatures Rank Third Highest in 2025 Amid Warming Trend
(MENAFN) According to reports from European and international climate monitoring agencies, 2025 has been identified as the third-warmest year ever documented since temperature records began. The findings reinforce the ongoing pattern of rising global temperatures and the increasing frequency of climate extremes worldwide.
The “Global Climate Highlights 2025” assessment indicates that 2025 was only marginally cooler than 2023. It also follows 2024, which remains the hottest year on record and the first year to clearly surpass 1.5°C (2.7°F) above pre-industrial levels.
For 2025, the global mean surface temperature reached 14.97°C (58.9°F). This value sits 0.59°C (1.06°F) above the 1991–2020 baseline and 1.47°C (2.64°F) higher than estimated pre-industrial averages.
Data referenced in the report shows that approximately 91% of the planet experienced temperatures above the long-term average during the year. In addition, nearly half of the Earth registered conditions significantly warmer than typical climate norms.
Several monthly records also stood out. January 2025 was recorded as the warmest January on record, while March, April, and May each ranked as the second warmest in their respective monthly histories.
Ocean temperatures remained persistently elevated throughout the year. The global sea surface temperature averaged 0.38°C (0.684°F) above the 1991–2020 reference period, marking the third-highest level ever observed. This occurred even without the influence of El Niño conditions, which typically contribute to temporary warming spikes.
Both polar regions also showed strong warming signals. The Antarctic experienced unprecedented temperature peaks, while the Arctic registered its second-highest temperature levels on record.
In Europe, 2025 ranked as the third-warmest year overall. The continent recorded an average temperature of 10.41°C (50.7°F), which is 1.17°C (2.106°F) above the 1991–2020 average. Certain regions, particularly in western and northern Europe—including areas of the North Atlantic, the North Sea, Scandinavia, and the western Mediterranean—experienced multiple local record-high temperatures throughout the year.
