Global temperatures dipped in 2025, new data shows. The cooling influence of La Niña in the Pacific caused the dip. Data comes from the European Copernicus climate service and the Met Office. Despite the dip, scientists warn more heat records are on the way.

The last three years remain the warmest ever recorded. This brings the planet closer to breaching international climate targets. 2025 was still warmer than temperatures a decade ago. Humanity's carbon emissions continue to heat the planet.

Scientists warn of worsening weather extremes. These extremes will continue unless emissions are sharply reduced. Dr. Samantha Burgess of Copernicus stated the mid-2020s will seem "relatively cool" in twenty years. The California fires of January 2025 were one of the most expensive weather-related disasters in US history.

The global average temperature in 2025 was more than 1.4C above pre-industrial levels. This highlights the continued impact of human activity on the climate. Further data analysis is expected in the coming months. International climate talks are scheduled for later this year. These talks aim to address emission reduction strategies.
