According to the European Union's (EU) Copernicus satellite monitoring system, it has become clear that 2024 will be the "hottest year" on record. Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), stated, "This marks a new milestone in global temperature records."

According to a statement from Copernicus, the average global temperature anomaly for the first 10 months of 2024 was measured at 0.71 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average. This measurement, corresponding to the highest value on record for this period, has already confirmed that 2024 will be the hottest year on record.

"A NEW MILESTONE"

In the statement, Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), said, "This marks a new milestone in global temperature records."

Burgess pointed out that the new data should have a catalytic effect on achieving the goals of the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference of the Parties 29 (COP29), which will be held in Baku from November 11-22.

Copernicus's statement also noted that last month was the second hottest October globally after October 2023. The statement also included information that the global average temperature over the past 12 months (November 2023-October 2024) was measured at 0.74 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average.
