Average global temperature to hit 1.4°C above preindustrial levels in 2026, warns UK’s Met Office
Scientists predict that 2026 will be one of the hottest years since 1850, as heat-trapping emissions continue to boil the planet.
Earlier this month, data from Copernicus warned that 2025 is currently tied with 2023 as the second-warmest year on record, with the global average temperature from January to November 2025 hitting 1.48°C above preindustrial levels.
2024 remains the hottest year since records began, and the first to exceed 1.5°C over the 1850-1900 baseline.
An hour ago, about 4pm, we came back from a long lunch with relatives, lit the wood-burner and by 5pm the room temperature was already 2°C higher than when we arrived. Yet somehow we don't feel doomed even though the temperature is still climbing.
Two conclusion are possible. Either we are immune to such a scorching rise in temperature or we are immune to Met Office twaddle.
As an aside, I wonder how many Met Office folk are bored with this tedious twaddle? Will some of them finally admit it during the latter stages of the Christmas party?

Mr Homewood's blog frequently explains how the Met Office fakes its temperature "data".

Whether they fake it or not, I refuse to believe that 1.4C above the temperature at the end of the little ice age constitutes an emergency.
It’s just boring; we’re all done with it, they might as well just shut up.
dearieme - the tallbloke blog is also doing some fine work on Met Office weather stations and its frequent inability to comply with WMO standards, or even its own standards.

Peter - I agree, it's beneficial, something to be thankful for, not an emergency.
