A new report from the World Meteorological Organization warns that global temperatures will likely continue rising, with an 80 percent chance that at least one year between now and 2029 will be even hotter.According to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, the planet is predicted to experience temperatures between 1.2°C and 1.9°C above pre-industrial levels over the next five years.
The report finds a staggering 86 percent chance that global average temperatures will exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels in at least one of the next five years, and a one percent chance of one of those years exceeding 2°C of warming. The WMO stressed that the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target refers to long-term averages over 20 years, meaning its threshold has not been breached quite yet.The forecast also highlights regional precipitation impacts, including wetter-than-average conditions expected in the African Sahel, northern Europe and South Asia. Conversely, the Amazon region could see continued drought.
