2025 was the 3rd warmest year on Earth since direct observations began. In Berkeley Earth’s analysis 2025 was 1.44 °C above our 1850-1900 average. The recent rate of warming is faster than historical trends. Extra warming appears to be related to a recent decrease in low cloud cover and man-made sulfur aerosols.
Berkeley, CA – Berkeley Earth, an independent, California-based non-profit climate monitoring organization, today released its 2025 Annual Temperature Report, concluding that 2025 was the third warmest year on Earth since 1850, exceeded only by 2024 and 2023. In Berkeley Earth’s analysis, the global annual average temperature in 2025 is estimated at 1.44 ± 0.09°C (2.60 […]
Berkeley Earth, a leading provider of open-access, high-resolution climate data, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Othersphere, a spatial economics platform focused on sustainable infrastructure siting, investment, and design. This collaboration integrates the newly released Berkeley Earth High-Resolution Surface Temperature Dataset (BEST-HR) into Othersphere’s predictive modeling tools, enabling more accurate modeling of project […]
Berkeley Earth is dedicated to advancing the field of climate science by providing open-source, high-resolution datasets that enhance the understanding of local climate dynamics and risks. In keeping with this ethos, today we introduce our forthcoming Climate Model Synthesis project, which aims to address critical gaps in existing climate models by applying bias correction and […]
