The ongoing strong El Niño superimposed on longer term anthropogenic warming combined to send October 2026 rocketing to hottest 🥵 in NASA's GISTEMP surface instrumental record.

Data freely available from GISS: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ 🧪⚒️

A line graph of GISTEMP October temperature anomalies, with a jagged bright red line growing from left to right across the page. The Y axis is labeled Temperature Anomaly in degrees Celsius, running from -.5 to 1. The X axis is labeled Year, running from 1880 to past 2000, with the plotted data extending to 2026. Although there is year to year variability, from around 1950 there is a clear upward trend. The highest value is clearly the most recent (October 2026).

Continued delay commits the world to continually rising global temperatures with more extreme weather such as hotter heatwaves, more intense rainfall, crop failures, loss of coral reefs & sea level rise.

Transformative action will avoid the worst consequences.

We will all regret not acting sooner.

Climate change disasters are now here, and they will get worse. But we still control how much worse they will become. Every ton of CO2 or CH4 makes a difference.

@wmo-global.bsky.social warns 2026 is on track to be one of the four warmest years on record, with exceptional global temperatures, melting ice, rising sea levels, and a strong El Niño that will bring more heat & extreme weather into 2027.
