This year is "virtually certain" to be the world's hottest on record, with temperatures more than 1.5C above pre-industrial times for the first time.
The latest data from the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) shows that global temperatures from January to October were 0.71C more than the average from 1991-2020, the highest on record for the period, and 0.16C higher than the same period for 2023 - the world's hottest year to date.
As a result, it is now virtually certain that 2024 will be the warmest year on record, the scientists said.
