October 2026 was the warmest October ever recorded globally, and the year is now on pace to rank among the hottest ever measured.
The global average temperature for the month reached 15.35°C, about 1.75°C above the estimated pre-industrial average.
Copernicus Climate Change Service says 2026 is now virtually certain to finish at least 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and has about an 80 per cent chance of becoming the second-warmest year on record, behind 2024.
