October

Globally, October 2024 was nominally the second warmest October since record-keeping began in 1850, though also essentially tied with 2023. 2024 is now almost certain to become the warmest year on record.

Globally, October 2022 was the 3rd warmest October since record-keeping began in 1850, and the warmest on land. Due to ongoing La Niña conditions, 2022 is very likely to be the 4th or 5th warmest year overall.
