This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
May 4, 2021 · Normal annual U.S. precipitation as a percent of the 20th-century average for each U.S. Climate Normals period from 1901-1930 (upper left) to 1991-2020 (lower right). Places where the normal annual precipitation was 12.5 percent or more below the 20th-century average are darkest brown; places where normal annual precipitation was 12.5 percent ...
Jan 25, 2024 · Trends in annual surface temperature in the past few decades (1994-2023, bottom) compared to the trend since the start of the 20th century (1901-2023, top). Recent warming is much faster than the longer-term average, with some locations warming by 1 degree Fahrenheit or more per decade.

The global mean temperature in 2022 is estimated to have been 1.24 °C (2.24 °F) above the average temperature from 1850-1900, a period often used as a pre-industrial baseline for global temperature targets. This is ~0.03 °C (~0.05 °F) warmer than in 2021. As a result, 2021 is nominally the fifth warmest year to have been directly observed, though t...
On land, 2022 was nominally the seventh warmest year observed, and is effectively tied with 2021 and 2015. In 2022, the land average temperature was 1.70 ± 0.04 °C above the average temperature from 1850 to 1900. As discussed below, though it was only the fifth warmest year globally, some territories saw record warm annual averages in 2022.
The following map shows how local temperatures in 2022 have increased relative to the average temperature in 1951-1980. Prominent warmth over Europe and Asia is visible this year, as is La Niña associated cooling in the Pacific. As can be expected from the global warming caused by greenhouse gases, the temperature increase over the globe is broadly...
The emergence of the La Niña weather phenomenon in the latter half of 2020 had a substantial influence on temperatures at the end of 2020, and an even larger impact on 2021 and 2022. La Niña is characterized by the emergence of a large area of relatively cool water in the eastern equatorial Pacific, as can be clearly seen in the annual average map ...
Though the focus of our work is on global and regional climate analysis, it is also possible to use our data to estimate national temperature trends. In Berkeley Earth’s estimation, 2022 had the warmest annual average since instrumental records began in the following 28 countries: Afghanistan, Andorra, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Croati...
One of the most remarkable weather events in 2022 was the March heatwave impacting Antarctica. An intrusion of an atmospheric river into the Antarctic plateau briefly pushed local temperatures at the manned Vostok station +38.5 °C (+69.3 °F) above normal for this time of year. This is the largest temperature excursion above normal ever measured at ...
Every month in 2022 was at least 1.0 °C (1.8 °F) warmer than the 1850 to 1900 average. However, the first several months of the year were relatively cool compared to other recent years, partly due to the effects of La Niña. June was the only month in 2022 that set a record high average for the month. The relatively coldest month was November which ...
Though it is interesting to understand the characteristics of individual years, global warming is ultimately about the long-term evolution of Earth’s climate. The following chart shows a ten-year moving average of the Earth’s surface temperature, plotted relative to the average temperature from 1850-1900. Since 1980, the overall trend is +0.19 °C/d...
Based on historical variability and current conditions, it is possible to roughly estimate what global mean temperature might be expected in 2023. Our current estimate is that 2023 is likely to be similar to 2022 or slightly warmer. With the current continuation of La Niña conditions, it is likely that 2023 remains relatively cool. The swings from ...

Dec 20, 2023 · ERA5 data are available in the Climate Data Store on regular latitude-longitude grids at 0.25° x 0.25° resolution, with atmospheric parameters on 37 pressure levels. ERA5 is available from 1940 and continues to be extended forward in time, with daily updates being made available 5 days behind real time.
