As we begin 2025, it’s time to look back at 2024 in terms of climate change. Looking at what climate experts had to say, it was officially the hottest year on record.
What made last year even more noticeable was the fact that there was a high incidence of severe rainfall events that wreaked havoc around the globe. One notable weather event has to be the massive rain Dubai entertained in just 24 hours. The rainfall broke records of 75 years. Another similar incident worth mentioning has to be Spain where again 772mm of rainfall left many confused as it spanned 14 hours.
The report did highlight how El Nino did influence a lot of the weather events but there was clear proof hinting at how climate change made matters worse. For instance, the devastation seen in Spain’s historic rainfall was 12% more intense than seen in the times when industries were limited.
Weather forecasts alone were enough to stop a lot of disasters that took place in 2024. Many scientists predicted the need to adopt enhanced weather warning systems while the community was urged to prepare better for climate change and stronger resilience.
These facts come to us in a new report published by a team of scientists from the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences. They’ve been speaking on the matter for a while now and how climate change is becoming more extreme with time. Now the point worth mentioning is how experts warn that this is just the start of what is yet to come in the future.
Each year, temperatures keep spiking. Earth’s 10 hottest years were all seen in the past decade. The global mean surface temperatures fluctuated between 0.87 to 1.29 degrees Celsius. And we are nowhere near the hot streak ending anytime soon.
Experts predict that the chances of 2025 being hotter than 2024 are slim but they are 99.9% sure that it would be a year that makes history for being one of the hottest. The findings are not positive as it’s been more than 48 years since we saw planet Earth get a colder average temperature than that seen in 1976.

We are still short of reaching the global temperature outlined in the Paris Agreement that spoke about how to prevent the negative impact of global warming as a whole. Does this mean we have no hope? The answer from experts is no!
Rise in temperatures or fluctuations take place thanks to nature’s variability. Amongst those entail the El Nino volcanic eruptions. But if we do keep on breaching temperatures each month or each year, we are getting close to crossing the long-term limit which gives rise to catastrophe.
Experts are holding climate summits every now and then to make leaders from different nations aware of the situation and how crucial of a role they play in combating the problem.
