The past 11 years, 2015 to 2025, will individually have been the eleven warmest years in the 176-year observational record, with the past three years being the three warmest years on record. The mean near-surface temperature in January-August 2025 was 1.42 °C ± 0.12 °C above the pre-industrial average, said the WMO report.

The alarming streak of exceptional temperatures continued in 2025, which is set to be either the second or third warmest year on record, according to the State of the Global Climate Update from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

    In my area, the leaves turned from green to brown two weeks ago and fell off last week — something that normally happens at the end of September/beginning of October.

    Temperatures are still in the early Autumn range with no dips below freezing yet this season, although it’s finally starting to get close. In past years, it wasn’t unheard of to have snow for Halloween.
