In May 2025, global average temperatures reached an unprecedented high, making it the second-hottest May on record, with the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service reporting a significant rise above prior averages, primarily attributed to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. This trend follows a series of record-breaking warm months leading into the year, indicating a pattern of persistent climate anomalies. The temperature readings rely heavily on a comprehensive network of global measurement systems, reinforcing concerns about the ongoing impact of industrialization on global warming and climate variability.
Globally, May 2025 was the second-hottest May on record, with a global average temperature of 60.42°F, highlighting the persistent rise in temperatures due to climate change.
Experts highlight that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are the key drivers for this temperature anomaly, contributing to multiple record-breaking months and years.
With May 2025 at 2.52°F above the pre-industrial average, all but one of the last 22 months has shown significant warming, indicating a worrying trend.
Data is gathered through billions of measurements from satellites, ships, and weather stations, showcasing that global temperature averages are rising consistently.
