2023 is forecast to be the 10th consecutive year in which global temperatures will be at least one degree above pre-industrial levels
NEXT YEAR IS forecast to be the 10th consecutive year in which global temperatures will be at least 1C above pre-industrial levels, the UK’s Met Office has said.
The Met Office said the projection would make it the 10th year in a row to see global average temperatures reach at least 1C above what they were in pre-industrial times, measured as the period 1850-1900. Professor Adam Scaife, head of long-range prediction at the Met Office, said: “Without a preceding El Nino to boost global temperature, 2023 may not be a record-breaking year, but with the background increase in global greenhouse gas emissions continuing apace it is likely that next year will be another notable year in the series.”
Last year, the Met Office predicted 2022’s global temperature would be between 0.97C and 1.21C above pre-industrial levels, with a central estimate of 1.09C, while data for the year to October suggests the temperature is around 1.16C above the pre-industrial era.
