October 2025: Third Warmest on Record

New data from Europes Copernicus Climate Change Service reveals that October 2025 was the third warmest globally, with a surface air temperature of 15.14°C, just 0.70°C above the average. This data, gathered from billions of measurements worldwide, suggests that 2025 could be the second or third warmest year, potentially tying with 2023. The findings underscore the accelerating pace of climate change, driven by fossil fuel emissions. Despite October being slightly cooler than the warmest on record, it marked the first month since April 2025 to exceed 1.50°C above pre-industrial levels. The average global temperature for the three-year period from 2023 to 2025 is likely to surpass this critical threshold, a first in weather records. In Europe, the average land temperature for October 2025 was 10.19°C, 0.60°C above the average, with Fennoscandia and the southern Iberian Peninsula experiencing the highest above-average temperatures.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
