Weather predicted to be record high over next five years

New York: The United Nations World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has made a worrying prediction regarding climate change.

As a result of climate change, the annual average global temperature in 2024 was recorded for the first time 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than before the industrial era.

Thus, last year was declared the hottest year in human history.

Before that, 2023 was also declared the hottest year, and now it has reached the second place after 2024.

But according to the World Meteorological Organization, the next five years may prove to be even worse.

The WMO has issued predictions for the next 5 years.

According to the World Organization, there is an 80 percent chance that at least one year out of the next 5 years can surpass 2024 in terms of temperature and become the hottest year in history.

WMO Deputy Secretary-General Ko Barrett said: “We have experienced the 10 hottest years on record in the past few years and unfortunately there will be no relief in the coming years either, meaning that the negative impacts on our economy, daily life, the environment, and the planet will all increase further”.

The world body predicted that there is a 70 percent chance that the average temperature will be 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels over the next five years.

It is pertinent to note that the 2015 Paris Agreement agreed that global temperatures would not be allowed to exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius.

But this would be considered when the temperature for a whole decade, rather than one or two years, is 1.5 degrees higher than pre-industrial levels.

But it is important to note that 2024 was the first year in which temperatures were recorded to be 1.5 degrees Celsius higher.

The report said that the Arctic region is also likely to increase over the next 5 years.

The WMO predicted that the warm weather in the Arctic region could be 3.5 times higher than the global average temperature in the next 5 years.

This will result in a further reduction in sea ice extent.
