The January – September 2024 global mean surface air temperature was 1.54 °C (with a margin of uncertainty of ±0.13°C) above the pre-industrial average, boosted by a warming El Niño event. This indicates a strong warming trend, but it does not specifically address November's temperature record. The year 2024 is on track to be the warmest year on record, with the past 10 years being the warmest decade on record[1].
